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.  

Solid:  A solid rivet is a one-piece rivet that is used to hold critical parts together, and contributes to the strength of the structure. Examples would be a rivet holding aluminum metal panels to the frames of an aircraft fuselage, or a rivet holding steel panels to the frames of a truck body.

Solid Rivets:  Solid rivets come in a wide variety of materials, head styles, and sizes, and are an ideal fastener to use where high strength, and a permanent tamper-proof joint are required.

Large:  Large Flange Head.  In blind rivets, this style refers to a wide diameter protruding head, which is used when a large bearing surface is required.  Somewhat the same as a brazier head style in a solid rivet.
