What is BS EN 3417 – Solid rivets about?
BS EN 3417 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers rivets, solid, universal head, in nickel base alloy NI-P11, metric series.
BS EN 3417 defines the characteristics of solid rivets, with universal head, metric series, in nickel base alloy, for maximum operating temperature 650 °C.
Who is BS EN 3417 – Solid rivets for?
BS EN 3417 on solid rivets is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Solid rivets manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3417 – Solid rivets?
A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail.
Solid rivets are used in applications where reliability and safety count. A typical application for solid rivets can be found within the structural parts of aircraft. Hundreds of thousands of solid rivets are used to assemble the frame of a modern aircraft
Nickel-based alloys are materials that are composed mainly of nickel and some other alloys. Ni-based alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and strength. They are often found in high-temperature environments due to their superior resistance to heat.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3417 walks you through the characteristics of solid rivets, with universal head, metric series, in nickel base alloy, for maximum operating temperature 650 °C. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
