Copper:  Copper is an element of great thermal and electrical conductivity.  It is a relatively low strength, soft material.  It is totally non-magnetic.  It is not subject to any heat-treating.  It has fair to good corrosion resistance, and is normally not plated.  Type 110 copper is most frequently used for rivets, and is rated as 99.9% pure copper.  Copper is also the chief element in brass and bronze alloys.  

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.

Truss:  Truss Head.  Term used in semi-tubular rivets, referring to a protruding head with a low profile, that is more than twice the diameter of the body of the rivet.  Also in solid steel rivets, a truss head is the equivalent of a brazier head.
