Engineered for corrosive environments, these **A4 stainless semi-tubular rivets** feature **20% thicker walls** and a **reduced hollow depth (1.25D)** for maximum shear strength. The **electropolished finish** provides superior saltwater resistance, making them ideal for marine, chemical, and offshore applications.
