Materials for Custom Sheet Metal Riveting
In sheet metal riveting, selecting the right material is crucial to ensure the durability and strength of the riveted joints. Here are some of the most commonly used materials for sheet metal riveting:

Aluminum
Lightweight and Corrosion-Resistant: Aluminum is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries due to its light weight and resistance to corrosion. It’s ideal for applications where reducing weight is critical.

Stainless Steel
Corrosion-Resistant and Durable: Stainless steel is used in applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance, such as in the food, chemical, and medical industries. Its durability makes it suitable for harsh environments.

Brass
Corrosion-Resistant and Aesthetic Appeal: Brass offers good corrosion resistance and is often chosen for decorative applications or where a high-quality finish is needed. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of fittings, instruments, and small enclosures.

Titanium
Lightweight and High Strength: Titanium is used in specialized applications, particularly in aerospace and medical devices, due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, though it’s more expensive.
Surface Finishes for Sheet Metal Cutting
Outstanding surface finishing choices can enhance the surfaces of your bending components and final products. In order to improve the product’s aesthetic appeal and other qualities, a variety of surface finishing could be offered for you from NOBLE.

Anodizing
Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.

Sand Blasting
Sand blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.
Materials: ABS, Aluminum, Brass
Color: N/A
Texture: Matte

Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.
Materials: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: Black, any RAL code or Pantone number
Texture: Gloss or semi-gloss

Electroplating
Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.
Materials: Aluminum, steel, Stainless Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Smooth, Glossy finish

Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.
Materials: Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Glossy

Brushing
Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.

FAQs on Sheet Metal Riveting
Sheet metal riveting is ideal for heat-sensitive materials, flexibility, and disassembly, especially with lightweight or thin materials. Welding is better for strong, permanent joints, especially in load-bearing applications. Consider strength, material type, and heat tolerance when deciding.
Environmental factors like corrosion, temperature fluctuations, and vibrations can weaken riveted joints. Using the right materials, coatings, and rivet types helps prevent damage. This ensures durability and reliability in harsh conditions, allowing joints to last longer and stay strong.
Automated sheet metal riveting systems increase speed, accuracy, and consistency in large-scale production. They reduce labor costs, improve safety, and offer flexibility with rivet sizes. This boosts efficiency while ensuring high-quality, reliable results in high-volume production.
When riveting sheet metal, consider material compatibility, choosing the right rivet type and size, hole preparation, tooling, and environmental factors like temperature and moisture. Sequencing steps correctly ensures smooth assembly and strong, durable joints.
Material selection affects riveted joints’ performance and lifespan. Strong, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or aluminum improve durability. Matching rivet and base materials maximizes strength, while considering thermal expansion and environmental conditions ensures longer-lasting joints.
At NOBLE, we meet complex customer needs through close communication and a streamlined process. We ensure real-time synchronization across design, prototyping, and production. With a flexible, fully equipped production line, we ensure precision and quality in every project, regardless of complexity.
Sheet metal riveting is a process that joins two or more sheet metal pieces by inserting a rivet through aligned holes and deforming its ends to create a strong, permanent bond. Sheet metal riveting is widely used in industries where high-strength, permanent joints are needed but welding is impractical.By combining our expertise with a customer-centric approach, NOBLE ensures every joint is strong, precise, and durable. Our commitment to quality, speed, and cost-efficiency makes us your ideal partner.
Sheet metal riveting is generally not expensive, especially for high-volume or standard applications. However, costs can vary based on the materials, equipment, and labor involved.
The dimensions of sheet metal rivets typically include the diameter and length of the rivet shank and the size and shape of the rivet head, which vary depending on the application and material thickness.
To rivet metal plates, align them, drill matching holes, insert a rivet through them, and use a rivet gun or hammer to secure the rivet by deforming its tail end.
