The Dome Head Black Open Blind Rivet Aluminium/Steel Range is engineered for dependable fastening in situations where access is limited to just one side of the workpiece. Known as “blind rivets,” these fasteners are widely used across industries because they provide a permanent, vibration‑resistant joint without requiring access to the rear of the material.

Each blind rivet consists of two components:

The body (shank) – made from lightweight yet durable aluminium

The mandrel (stem) – manufactured from high‑strength steel

During installation, the mandrel is pulled through the rivet body, expanding it and forming a secure mechanical lock. The mandrel then snaps at a predetermined breakpoint, leaving a clean, finished appearance on the visible side.

The dome head is the most versatile and commonly used rivet head style. Its wide bearing surface distributes load evenly, making it suitable for fastening a broad range of materials including sheet metal, plastics, composites, and more. Dome head rivets are ideal for general‑purpose use and are especially effective when joining materials that are not brittle or overly smooth.

These rivets feature a black finish in RAL 9005, offering a discreet, professional look that blends well with darker surfaces or applications where aesthetics matter. The aluminium/steel combination provides an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation.

Commonly used in automotive repairs, metal fabrication, construction, HVAC, signage, and DIY projects, these rivets are a staple in any workshop or toolbox. Their simple installation process requires only a standard rivet gun, making them accessible for both professionals and hobbyists.

Available in a range of diameters and grip lengths, our Dome Head Black Open Blind Rivets ensure you can select the perfect size for your specific application.
