SOLID CONTACT RIVETS 

This type of contact is manufactured directly from wire by cold heading process as a result of which the shank remains soft for easy rivetting whilist the head becomes work-hardened.

​

The shank length can be easily varied but the shank diameter should be in right proportion to the size of head for avoiding wrinkles during cold forging operation. For satisfactory results, a sufficiently large shank diameter (generally 50% of the head diameter) should be selected to avoid undue increase of contact resistance during service.
