Bimetal or Composites rivets, for which only a part of the head (composite or bimetal rivets) or also the shank end (tri-metal rivets) are composed of contact material – with the balance of the body mostly being copper – have replaced the solid rivet for many applications because of economical considerations. These rivets are manufactured by cold forging process by bonding contact material (Silver alloy) into the base material (usually Electrolytic Grade Copper).
