Description
Product Overview
The 3/16 x 1/2 solid aluminum rivets from Baudelun are engineered for strength and reliability in demanding environments. Each rivet features a round dome head that expands uniformly when set, creating a tight, leak‑free seal that holds up under vibration and pressure. Constructed from marine‑grade aluminum, the fasteners resist corrosion caused by saltwater, humidity, and chemicals, making them an ideal choice for boat hull repairs, trailer maintenance, and outdoor construction projects.
With a compact size of 3/16 inch diameter and a 1/2 inch shank length, these rivets fit a wide range of pre‑drilled holes and provide a clean, professional finish. The 100‑piece pack offers ample inventory for both small DIY jobs and larger commercial applications, reducing the need for frequent reordering and ensuring you always have the right fastener on hand.
Baudelun’s commitment to quality control means each rivet meets strict dimensional tolerances, guaranteeing consistent performance across the entire batch. The rivets are supplied in a convenient resealable bag that protects them from moisture and physical damage during storage and transport.
Designed for versatility, these rivets can be installed using a standard hand‑held rivet gun or a pneumatic tool, allowing users of all skill levels to achieve a secure installation quickly. The smooth aluminum shaft reduces friction during insertion, while the dome head expands evenly to fill the hole cavity, distributing load and preventing material fatigue.
In addition to marine applications, the rivets excel in automotive, aerospace, and custom fabrication projects where weight savings and corrosion resistance are critical. Their lightweight nature does not compromise strength, offering a high strength‑to‑weight ratio that is prized in performance‑oriented builds.
Overall, the Baudelun 3/16 x 1/2 solid aluminum rivets combine durability, ease of use, and cost‑effectiveness, delivering a reliable fastening solution for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Usage
These rivets are perfectly suited for sealing and fastening in marine environments, including boat hulls, deck fittings, and cabin interiors. Their corrosion‑resistant properties ensure long‑term performance even when exposed to salt spray and constant moisture.
Trailer owners will find them invaluable for repairing or reinforcing cargo tie‑downs, light‑weight brackets, and under‑carriage components. The rivets hold up under the dynamic loads experienced during transport, providing a secure attachment that does not loosen over time.
Roofing contractors can use the rivets to attach flashing, gutters, and metal panels, benefiting from the rivet’s ability to create a watertight seal that prevents leaks. The aluminum composition also reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion when paired with other metal roofing materials.
DIY enthusiasts and custom builders often incorporate these rivets into custom rat‑rod builds, armor plating, and artistic metalwork. Their clean finish and easy installation make them a favorite for projects that require both aesthetic appeal and functional strength.
In aerospace and aircraft maintenance, the lightweight yet strong rivets are employed for interior paneling, seat brackets, and non‑critical structural repairs where weight savings are essential.

FAQ
What materials can these rivets be used with?
These aluminum rivets are compatible with wood, fiberglass, plastic, and metal substrates. They are especially effective on marine‑grade plywood, aluminum boat hulls, and lightweight steel brackets where corrosion resistance is important.
Do I need a special tool to install them?
No special tool is required. A standard hand‑held rivet gun or a pneumatic rivet gun will work perfectly. Ensure the tool’s die size matches the 3/16″ diameter for optimal expansion and a tight fit.
How many rivets are in each package?
Each package contains 100 solid aluminum rivets, providing enough fasteners for both small repairs and larger projects without the need for frequent reordering.
Are these rivets suitable for high‑temperature environments?
While aluminum maintains strength at moderate temperatures, these rivets are not designed for extreme heat applications above 200°F (93°C). For high‑temperature needs, consider stainless‑steel or specialty alloy rivets.
What is the warranty on these rivets?
Baudelun offers a limited one‑year warranty covering material defects and manufacturing flaws. If you encounter any issues within this period, contact our support team for a replacement or refund.
