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.

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.

Flange:  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.
