Product Overview

Copper tubular rivets are hollow-body fasteners cold-formed from wrought copper alloys C11000 (ETP) and C12200 (DHP). The tubular shank design reduces installation force while providing a large bearing surface for material deformation. These rivets are used in electrical, automotive, and light industrial applications where conductivity, thermal transfer, or non-sparking properties are required. Surface finishes include bright, tinned, and nickel-plated. Dimensional tolerances follow DIN 7338 and ISO 14589, with full material traceability.

Key Features

  • Low setting force due to hollow shank geometry.
  • High electrical conductivity for ground connections.
  • Effective thermal dissipation in electronic assemblies.
  • Natural corrosion resistance in mild environments.
  • Ductile material allows consistent flaring and clinching.

Installation guidance

Use a rivet setting tool with a concave anvil to properly flare the tubular shank. Recommended hole clearance: 0.1 – 0.2 mm over tube O.D. For hard or brittle materials, pre-drill or punch with deburring to avoid shank deformation. Setting force varies with tube diameter and hardness; perform trial sets to determine optimal pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Copper tubular rivets require lower installation force due to their hollow shank, reducing tool wear and operator fatigue. They also provide better electrical and thermal conductivity, making them suitable for grounding and heat dissipation applications.
C12200 (DHP) with phosphorus deoxidization offers improved corrosion resistance in humid and marine environments. For enhanced protection, tinned or nickel-plated finishes are recommended.
Yes, when properly set with full shank flare. For critical applications, use a locking sealant or choose a rivet with a larger head diameter to increase joint stability.
Bright finish (standard) offers good conductivity. Tinning provides solderability and corrosion protection. Nickel-plating improves wear resistance and appearance. Passivation reduces oxidation and maintains surface cleanliness.
Yes. Chance & Union supports custom tube diameters (up to 16 mm), shank lengths, and head configurations including flat, round, countersunk, and flange styles. Tooling modifications are available for volume production.

Production & Customization

Chance & Union utilizes cold heading and deep drawing processes to produce copper tubular rivets in both standard and custom dimensions. We offer material selection support, prototype development, and high-volume production with full quality control per ISO 9001. Custom finishes, special hardness levels, and non-standard head geometries are available. Contact our engineering team with your technical drawings or performance specifications.

Storage & Handling

  • Store in a dry environment with relative humidity below 50% to prevent tarnishing.
  • Avoid direct contact with steel tools or acidic materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Use plastic or coated containers; separate by size and finish.
  • Implement FIFO rotation; recommended shelf life up to 24 months in original packaging.
  • Inspect for discoloration or oxide spots before use; clean with a non-abrasive cloth if necessary.
