Brass:  Brass is a copper-based alloy, which contains zinc as its main alloying element. (65% copper, 35% zinc.)  CDA260 or CDA270 is the most common alloy of brass used in rivets. It is stronger than copper, due to the zinc content.  It is not magnetic.  Brass rivets can be used in plain, un-plated finish, or can be plated with nickel or black oxide finish.  

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.
