Product overview
The ALUM/STEEL large-flange blind rivet ASL 4-4 is a rivet with an aluminium body and a steel mandrel, featuring a large-flange dome head designed to distribute clamping pressure over a wider area, making it suitable for fastening softer materials or thin sheet / composite panel assemblies.
Key features
- Aluminium alloy body with zinc-plated steel stem for strength and corrosion resistance. ([source](https://www.npxfasteners.com.au/products/aluminium-steel-large-flange-dome-head-rivets))
- Large flange head provides a wider bearing surface to reduce material deformation, ideal when fastening soft or composite materials (e.g. timber, plastic, fibreglass) to metal. ([source](https://www.npxfasteners.com.au/products/aluminium-steel-large-flange-dome-head-rivets))
- Suitable for use with standard handheld or cordless blind-rivet tools. ([source](https://www.npxfasteners.com.au/products/aluminium-steel-large-flange-dome-head-rivets))
- Extended grip-range compared to standard rivets of the same diameter, giving flexibility for different material thickness combinations. ([source](https://www.wa fasteners.com.au/products/rivets/large-flange-rivets))
Common uses
Fixing soft or composite materials (timber, plastic, fibre-glass) to metal; sheet-metal assembly; roofing; cladding; guttering; ductwork; where a smooth dome-head finish and broad clamping area are required.
