Specialinsert has developed Deform-Ti, a deformation threaded tubular rivet fully made of titanium alloy, that combines resistance and lightweight for installation on sheet metal and composite panels, even thin, starting from a minimum of 0,5 mm.

Evolving the company’s leading product Deform-Nut, a threaded tubular rivet made of steel, stainless steel and light alloy, Deform-Ti is conceived to meet the most stringent industry standards where weight control is as important as the material’s mechanical strength capacity, ideally suitable for the automotive, nautical and chemical industries. Technical laboratory tests on the TC M6/TZ insert demonstrate that the titanium alloy rivet (2.1 g/pc) weighs 40% less than a stainless steel one (3.7 g/pc) and is able to withstand a tensile strength of 25.800 N, 27.80 Nm torsion and 6450 N shear strength. These features are combined with high rust resistance.

Ideal for applications where there is no possible access from the inside such as tubes, metal sheets and box structures, this system is easy and quick to apply. In fact, it is sufficient to insert Deform-Ti in the previously created hole on the material to be fastened and screw in the specific installation tool on the rivet. The tool will then deform the expansion chamber at the top of the insert, anchoring it to the receiving material.

The titanium alloy rivet is available in the cylinder version with different shaped heads, with the most popular threading, and like other Specialinsert ranges it can be customised according to customer needs, guided step by step in the choice and development of the right fastening system for any application by a team of in-house specialists.
