Choosing a countersunk rivet
Pick the rivet material to suit the sheet and the environment: aluminium and steel for general joining, Monel for corrosion resistance, stainless where the finished joint has to stay clean. The sheet being joined needs to be countersunk or dimpled to accept the head, so check the sheet thickness against the head height. Always check the data sheet for the rivet diameter, grip range and strength of the exact rivet before you order.

Countersunk Rivet FAQs
What is a countersunk head rivet?
It is a rivet with a tapered head that sits in a countersunk or dimpled hole, so the head finishes flush with the surface instead of standing proud like a dome head rivet.
Do I need to countersink the hole?
Yes. The sheet needs a countersink or dimple that matches the rivet head so it can sit flush. Check the head diameter and angle on the data sheet before preparing the hole.
Which material should I choose?
It depends on the sheet and the environment. Monel, aluminium and steel rivets are listed, and an A2 (304) stainless steel rivet is available where stainless is needed. Match the rivet to the sheet material where possible.
