Rivets covered by this specification are intended for joining riveted structures that develop the driven load allowables defined in MMPDS, Chapter 8.

Aluminum alloy 1100-F rivets are intended for use in low strength applications.

Aluminum alloy 2017-T4 rivets are high shear strength rivets intended for use with aluminum alloy sheets. This temper shall not be used where optimum corrosion resistance is required. Aluminum alloy 2017-T4 is inactive for new design.

Aluminum alloy 2024-T4 rivets are high strength, high temperature rivets intended for use with aluminum alloy sheets. The rivets should be kept in cold storage until used and be driven in the "W" condition. Aluminum alloy 2024-T4 is inactive for new design.

Aluminum alloy 2117-T4 rivets are medium strength rivets intended for riveting aluminum alloy sheets.

Aluminum alloy 2219-T81 and 2219-T62 rivets are intended for use where high strength at a high temperature is required. Aluminum alloy 2219-T81 is inactive for new design.

 Aluminum alloy 5056-H32 rivets are intended for use with magnesium alloy structures and structures with magnesium and other alloys to minimize galvanic corrosion and is not recommended for use at temperatures exceeding 150 °F.

Aluminum alloy 7050-T73 rivets are high shear strength, high temperature rivets intended for use with aluminum alloy sheets. This alloy is intended as a substitute for alloy 2024-T4.

Titanium-columbium (45Cb) rivets are intended for riveting structures of titanium and aluminum or a combination of both. These rivets are intended to be used where material compatibility and cold formability are desired. They are suitable for use in high temperature and high strength applications.
