Description
MS20470 universal head solid rivets are a specific type of fastener commonly used in aerospace and aviation applications. Let’s break down the designation:
- MS20470: This is a specification number assigned by the United States Military Standard (MS) system. MS20470 specifies the requirements for universal head solid rivets.
- Universal Head: The “universal head” refers to the shape of the rivet’s head. Universal head rivets have a rounded, domed head that provides a larger bearing surface compared to other head styles. This design helps distribute the load more evenly and reduces the risk of damage to the material being joined.
- Solid Rivets: Solid rivets are fasteners with a cylindrical shaft (shank) and a head formed on one end. They are called “solid” because they consist of a single piece of material (usually metal), as opposed to hollow rivets or other types of fasteners. Solid rivets are commonly used in applications where high strength and reliability are required, such as in aircraft structures.
MS20470 universal head solid rivets are used for joining metal components in aircraft construction, including airframes, wings, fuselage sections, and other structural elements. They are installed by passing the rivet through pre-drilled holes in the materials to be joined and then deforming (or “bucking”) the protruding end of the rivet to create a second head, forming a permanent mechanical connection.
These rivets are manufactured to meet specific standards for material composition, dimensional tolerances, strength, and other properties to ensure their suitability for aerospace applications. They play a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity and safety of aircraft components.
