Stainless Steel Flat Head Rivet - Grade 202, 304, 316, A2, A2-70
A Flat Head Rivet is a type of permanent mechanical fastener used to join two or more materials—typically metal or plastic—by inserting the rivet through pre-drilled holes and deforming its tail to create a second head. The defining feature of this rivet is its wide, flat head, which sits flush against the surface, providing a clean, low-profile finish.

The flat head is a popular choice when it comes to blind rivets, as it offers a generous contact area on the material and allows for even distribution of weight. It works well with thinner, more malleable materials, providing a secure hold without causing damage.
