Rivet Back-Up Washers

Rivet Back-Up Washers are support components used in conjunction with rivets to reinforce joints, especially in thin or soft materials. By distributing the load across a larger surface area, back-up washers prevent rivets from pulling through the material, ensuring stronger and longer-lasting fastening. In Pakistan, these washers are extensively used in sheet metal fabrication, construction projects, and repair applications where structural integrity is critical. Manufactured from steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, rivet back-up washers enhance joint stability under vibration, heavy loads, and temperature fluctuations. They are indispensable for industries such as transportation, HVAC, shipbuilding, and home appliance manufacturing. By improving rivet strength and reliability, these washers reduce maintenance costs and increase overall product durability.
