Hastelloy:  Hastelloy-X.  This is one of the “superalloys”, or high performance alloys.  In the case of “superalloys” high performance refers to the ability of the alloy to survive under high temperature, high stress, highly corrosive or erosive environments.  Hastelloy-X is a nickel alloy.  Like all “superalloys”, it is extremely expensive, limiting its use to critical applications.

Drive: A drive rivet is a form of blind rivet. The body of the drive rivet is hollowed-out out and a pin sits in the hollowed-out portion. This pin protrudes past the head of the rivet, and is designed so it can be driven into the body of the rivet, with an ordinary hammer. The end of the shank is divided into quarters, or thirds, to allow it to be deformed. As the pin is hammered into place, it forces the ends of the rivet to splay outwards, pulling and clinching the material into place.

Drive Rivet:  A drive rivet is a form of blind rivet. The main virtue of this rivet is that it can be installed without special tooling. It can also be used in blind-hole applications, in wood or low-density materials.

Liner:  Liner Rivet.  A liner rivet is a form of drive rivet specially made for the truck and trailer industry to attach interior linings to trailer bodies.
