- Snap heads are used mainly for structural work and machine riveting.
- Countersunk heads are employed for shipbuilding.
- Conical heads are used where riveting is done by hand hammering.
- Pan heads are required where very high strength is needed since they have the maximum strength.
- Mushroom heads: These rivets are used to reduce the height of the rivet head above the metal surface.
- Flat heads: These are most commonly used in sheet metal fabrication where the metal is very thin and the projecting head of the rivet is objectionable. These are also available for heavy fabrication work.
