Aerospace Solid Rivets (MS / AN / NAS Series)

Documents

Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.

Quotation

• The fastener family (Aerospace Solid Rivets (MS / AN / NAS Series)) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
• Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
• Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
• Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.

Sample & supply

Minimum order quantity is 10,000–50,000 pieces depending on size. Standard production run 10–20 days. Quantities or variants outside the standard range are confirmed at quotation.

Storage & shipping

Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.

Which series do I quote, and how do the countersunk, round, universal and brazier variants differ in the grid?

Quote the designation the drawing carries — that is the point of the MIL-spec system; the grid is how you verify a callout and size the tooling. Where you are choosing: the universal head (MS20470 family) is the default for skins worked with a bucking bar — its double-radius profile is aerodynamically clean and the head is strong relative to its height; the 100° countersunk family (MS20426/20427, NAS1097 flush shear, NAS1199) sits flush in a 100° sink for airflow surfaces — note the grid gives those two MS series different head-height treatments (REF. versus MAX.) and NAS1097 is explicitly the shear-grade flush rivet, not a load-bearing substitute; round (AN430/MS20435) and brazier (AN455/AN456) where a wide, shallow bearing head spreads the load on thin or soft sheet; flat (AN441/AN442) where a low flat head is tolerable under a fairing. Watch the size coverage — NAS1097 starts at 3/32 and NAS508/NAS1198 stop at 1/4 — and note the grid's quirks honestly: the AN123451 series 3/8 cell prints ".373/377" and the NAS1199 3/16 cell "186/.190" exactly as the source does. After driving, the head-marking table verifies the alloy without destroying the joint: a dimple means 2117-T4, a raised dot 2017-T4, a double dash 2024-T4.

What drilling and setting data does the grid carry, and what is still per RFQ?

The foot rows of the collected grid are the hole-prep and setting data, per body diameter: suggested work-hole diameter (.067 at 1/16 rising to .386 at 3/8), suggested drill size (number drills 51/40/30/20/11 at the small sizes, letter drills F/P/W at 1/4 and up) and suggested clinch allowance (.062–.375) — the grip-plus-F length rule that also governs the commercial series. Drill to the suggested work-hole, not to the rivet diameter: the clearance is what lets the shank fill the hole without scoring it, and the drill-size row converts the decimal to the bit actually in the drawer. What the source does not tabulate, and stays RFQ territory: shear and tensile allowables per alloy (quote against the applicable MIL-handbook value for the material and temper), heat treatment state, and any process specifications the joint must be installed under (bucking-bar technique, squeeze-rivet qualification). The material table tells you which designations exist per head style — for example the exotic alloys (2219, 7050, 45Cb titanium, Inconel, A286) are tabulated only in the universal and countersunk families — so a brazier head in Inconel is not a part the collected source offers; check the table before committing a callout.

What is the MOQ and lead time for these rivets?

The minimum order quantity is 10,000–50,000 pieces depending on size. Standard production runs 10–20 days. Common sizes in these series are widely stocked; confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.
