I. Common Problems and Solutions in Application

1. Deformation and Cracking of Plates During Riveting (Most Common)

• Causes
  • High hardness of stainless steel rivets leads to excessive riveting pressure, causing extrusion damage to aluminum profiles / thin steel plates.
  • Poor machining accuracy of countersink holes, mismatched hole diameters, and burrs on edges.
  • Small pressure-bearing area of flat head design results in stress concentration at the hole mouth.
   
• Solutions
  • Control riveting force: Use pneumatic/hydraulic rivet guns, with pressure set to fill the hole and fit the head properly, avoiding excessive impact.
  • Optimize hole machining: Match the taper of countersink holes with rivets (90°/120°), set the hole diameter 0.1–0.3 mm larger than the rivet diameter, and remove burrs.
  • Add support: Place flat backing plates under thin plates to disperse pressure.
  • Change head type: Use pan head/round head rivets to increase pressure-bearing area and reduce stress.
   

2. Loosening and Falling Off After Riveting

• Causes
  • Oversized holes, insufficient rivet length, or incomplete heading.
  • Repeated opening/closing of windows and doors, and wind pressure vibration cause fatigue loosening.
  • Weak torsional/shear resistance of flat heads, easy displacement under lateral force.
   
• Solutions
  • Select correct specifications: Rivet length = total plate thickness + 1.5 times rivet diameter (to ensure full heading).
  • Optimize process: Ensure full, crack-free and centered heading.
  • Structural reinforcement: Add flat washers/spring washers at key positions, or use blind rivets/bolts instead.
   

3. Electrochemical Corrosion (Aluminum Windows & Doors + Stainless Steel Rivets)

• Causes
  • Direct contact between stainless steel and aluminum profiles forms galvanic cells in humid environments, leading to rapid corrosion of aluminum.
   
• Solutions
  • Material isolation: Add insulating washers/nylon sleeves on contact surfaces to block electrical paths.
  • Material matching: Prioritize aluminum alloy rivets for aluminum profiles; use 316 stainless steel with passivation in coastal/high-humidity areas.
  • Sealing protection: Apply neutral silicone sealant after riveting to isolate moisture.
   

4. Appearance and Assembly Issues

• Problems
  • Sharp flat heads, uneven surfaces; solid rivets require double-sided operation with low efficiency.
   
• Solutions
  • Round and polish heads, or use pan head/oval head rivets.
  • Adopt blind rivets for mass assembly, enabling single-sided construction with high efficiency.
   

5. Fatigue Fracture in Long-Term Use

• Causes
  • Alternating stress from repeated opening/closing and wind pressure induces cracks at stress concentration points.
   
• Solutions
  • Select tough 304/316 austenitic stainless steel and avoid martensitic stainless steel.
  • Distribute stress: Arrange multiple rivets and add stiffeners to reduce load per rivet.

II. More Suitable Hardware Selection for Window and Door Systems (Alternative/Optimized Solutions)

2. Systematic Selection of Core Window & Door Hardware

• Hinges
  • Casement/inward tilting windows: 304 stainless steel load-bearing hinges with load capacity ≥30kg, passing 100,000 opening/closing tests.
  • Sliding windows: Stainless steel bearing pulleys + nylon wheel surfaces for quiet operation, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
   
• Locking Systems
  • Casement windows: Multi-point locks (2–4 lock points) + stainless steel transmission rods for uniform stress, anti-theft and good sealing.
  • Sliding windows: Hook locks/central locks with sealing wool strips to improve air and water tightness.
   
• Sealing and Auxiliary Parts
  • Sealing strips: EPDM for aging resistance, high and low temperature resistance, service life 5–8 years.
  • Heat/insulation: Nylon heat insulation strips and insulating washers to block thermal bridges and electrochemical corrosion.
   

3. Core Selection Principles

1. Material matching first: Aluminum profiles with aluminum/nylon fasteners; steel with stainless steel; avoid direct contact between dissimilar metals.
2. Function adaptation: High strength and toughness for load-bearing parts; aesthetic and flat for decorative parts; detachable for easy maintenance.
3. Environmental adaptation: 316 stainless steel + passivation/sealing for coastal/humid areas; 304 stainless steel for ordinary environments.
4. Systematic matching: Prioritize specialized window and door hardware systems (hinges + locks + transmission + sealing) for better compatibility and stability.

III. Summary and Action Recommendations

• Stainless steel flat head solid rivets are suitable for static, low-load parts with high flatness requirements; not recommended for frequent opening/closing, aluminum profiles or humid environments.
• Prioritize material-matched blind rivets/special bolts as alternatives, and adopt multi-point connection + systematic hardware at key positions to balance strength, corrosion resistance, durability and maintainability.
