Stainless steel Rivets and Self-locking pins

Find the perfect stainless steel rivets and pins here, ideal for boat building and repairs on your vessel. Whether you need to secure hardware, repair a handrail, or attach an accessory, you'll find the right rivet or pin. Stainless steel, especially AISI 316, guarantees superior resistance to marine corrosion, preventing rust and premature failure.

We offer rivets and pins in various sizes and diameters to suit every need. Always check the hole size and the thickness of the materials to be fastened to choose the correct product. A rivet that is too short will not guarantee a secure hold, while one that is too long may protrude and cause problems.

We also stock rivet tabs, useful for creating anchor points or reinforcing joints. The tabs are made of stainless steel and are available in various shapes and sizes.

Stainless Steel Rivets and Pins: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a rivet and a blind rivet?

Generally, the terms are used interchangeably. In the nautical field, 'rivets' are more often used to refer to permanent stainless steel fasteners used to join two or more parts.

Which type of stainless steel is most resistant to marine corrosion?

AISI 316 stainless steel is the best choice for marine applications. It contains molybdenum, which increases corrosion resistance, especially in saline environments. Always check that the rivets and pins you buy are made of AISI 316.

How do I choose the right rivet length?

The length of the rivet must be sufficient to cover the total thickness of the materials to be joined, plus a small extra portion to allow for proper deformation during riveting. Generally, it is recommended to add about 1.5 times the diameter of the rivet to the total thickness.

Can I use stainless steel rivets to fasten aluminum accessories?

Yes, but it is important to use an insulator between the two metals to prevent galvanic corrosion. You can use plastic washers or rubber gaskets to isolate the stainless steel from the aluminum.
