Choose-a-Color Aluminum Open-End Dome Head Blind Rivets

Choose-a-Color Aluminum Open-End Dome Head Blind Rivets

Product Overview

JUXIN FASTENERS offers colored aluminum open-end blind rivets with a dome head and three mandrel material options. 

These break-mandrel rivets are installed from one side of the assembly and are intended for compatible sheet-metal, panel and equipment fastening applications.

The visible dome head can be specified in a selected color to coordinate with painted or finished components.

Color requirements should be defined by the customer's approved specification or reference sample.

Material Combinations

The three material combinations must be treated as separate specifications. Mandrel material can affect setting behavior, corrosion considerations and mechanical performance.

The exact steel or stainless steel mandrel grade, finish and performance requirements should be confirmed against the applicable product specification.

Dimensions and Engineering Specifications

The relevant dimensions and functional characteristics include:

Detailed dimensional specifications: Refer to the existing product PDF/CAD documentation, pages 91–92.

The product drawing and dimensional table govern the actual available sizes.

 Grip range and installation-hole diameter must not be determined solely from nominal rivet length.

Metric and Inch Size Reference

Blind rivets are commonly specified in both metric and inch dimensions.

These are general nominal size references, not a confirmed list of sizes available for this specific product.

Metric and inch-designated rivets must be checked against the actual drawing, hole diameter, grip range and tolerances before substitution.

Grip Range and Panel Thickness

Grip range is the total material thickness that a selected blind rivet is designed to fasten.

The appropriate rivet must be selected according to the combined thickness of the joined materials and the specified grip range.

The nominal rivet body length is not the same as the grip range.

For OEM assembly design, relevant factors include:

• Total panel stack-up

• Hole diameter and tolerance

• Panel material and thickness

• Rivet body diameter and length

• Required head clearance

• Access to the blind side

• Specified joint performance

Installation Method

Open-end blind rivets are installed using a compatible blind riveting tool and nosepiece.

A typical installation sequence involves:

1. Preparing the specified mounting holes.

2. Positioning the components to be joined.

3. Inserting the blind rivet through the aligned holes.

4. Engaging the mandrel with the compatible installation tool.

5. Pulling the mandrel to deform the rivet body on the blind side.

6. Completing installation when the mandrel breaks at its designed break point.

Installation tooling and process settings must be compatible with the selected rivet configuration.

Color and Surface Finish

Colored dome head blind rivets may be specified where the visible fastener head should match or complement the surrounding panel.

Applications may include:

• Painted sheet-metal panels

• Equipment housings

• Enclosures and cabinets

• Decorative metal assemblies

• General industrial panel fastening

Color and finish requirements should identify the intended appearance, reference color or approved sample, and any relevant coating requirements.

The color finish should not be assumed to provide a particular corrosion-resistance level without supporting specifications or testing.

Material and Corrosion Considerations

The 5052 aluminum body provides a lightweight fastening component.

However, the complete rivet includes both the body and the mandrel.

Aluminum, steel and stainless steel mandrels can produce different material combinations and different environmental considerations.

For assemblies exposed to moisture or other corrosive environments, the interaction between the rivet materials, panel materials and surface finishes should be evaluated.

No universal corrosion rating or salt spray performance is implied for all configurations.

Applicable International Standards

The following standards may be relevant when the specific rivet dimensions, materials and design fall within their defined scope:

• ISO 15977: Open-end blind rivets with aluminium alloy body, steel mandrel and protruding head.

• ISO 15981: Open-end blind rivets with aluminium alloy body, aluminium alloy mandrel and protruding head.

These standards provide technical references for corresponding configurations. 

Compliance must be established from the actual product specification and applicable dimensional and mechanical requirements.

The stainless steel mandrel version requires separate verification against the appropriate product specification.

OEM Manufacturing and Quality Requirements

For custom color or dimension projects, JUXIN FASTENERS reviews the customer-defined requirements, including:

• Rivet body and mandrel material

• Rivet diameter and length

• Head dimensions

• Installation-hole diameter

• Grip range

• Color and surface finish

• Mechanical performance requirements

• Inspection criteria

• Packaging requirements

• Production quantities

Dimensional verification, appearance requirements and functional inspection criteria should be agreed according to the selected configuration and customer specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a colored aluminum open-end blind rivet?

It is a blind rivet with an aluminum body, an open-end construction and a visible dome head that can be supplied with a specified color finish.

Can these rivets be installed from one side?

Yes. Open-end blind rivets are designed for installation where the tool accesses one side of the assembly.

What mandrel materials are available for this product?

The existing JUXIN specification identifies aluminum, steel and stainless steel mandrel options with a 5052 aluminum body.

Does a longer rivet always provide a larger grip range?

Not necessarily. Grip range depends on the specific rivet design and dimensions. 

The applicable product specification must be checked.

Are colored aluminum blind rivets suitable for outdoor applications?

Suitability depends on the complete material combination, coating, mating materials and exposure conditions. The required corrosion performance must be specified and verified.

Can JUXIN supply custom colors and dimensions?

Custom color and dimensional requirements can be submitted for technical review and quotation.
