Fils pour rivets de coutellerie inox X6Cr17

Stainless steel cutlery rivets "quality nailing".

Mounting rods by nailing blades, plates and knife pads.

Made in high-quality X6Cr17/AISI 430 stainless steel, these non-dip stainless steel cutlery rivets are specifically designed for nailing. Used in the annealing state, they cut each other on demand and look perfectly with or without rosettes.

Diameters suitable for mounting.

From diameters 2 to 2.4 mm, these stainless steel cutlery rivets are used for mounting plates and handles (Ø2 and 2.2 mm) and for fastening blades (Ø2.4 mm).

Very economical, they cut on demand, offer excellent corrosion resistance and are easy to polish.

Used with our Ø5 x rosettes 2.4mm stainless steel of the same shade for a reinforced fastening of the blade, they become practically invisible after polishing.

A non-dipping stainless steel easy to work.

The X6Cr17/AISI 430 cutlery stainless steel grade does not soak and is used in the annealed state.

It retains all its qualities of strength and corrosion resistance by offering the advantage of working easily without breaking and without risk of cracking.

With a chromium content of approximately 16.50%, stainless steel X6Cr17/AISI 430 is of food contact quality and complies with the legislation in force for the manufacture of knives and articles that may come into contact with food.

What standards of stainless steel?

In the absence of a single international consensus, the same steel grade can meet different designations which are all standards.

And sometimes it can be difficult to get there and be sure to choose the right shade.

Regarding our stainless steel cutlery rivets X6Cr17/AISI 430, we can also find the stainless steel of its composition under the names 1.4016 or Z8C17.

However, it is the same stainless steel with strictly identical characteristics.

1.4016: european codification for nickel-free ferritic stainless steel containing approximately 17% chromium (food quality).

Key standards:

- AFNOR (France): Z8C17

- DIN (Germany): X6Cr17

- AISI-SAE (USA): 430

How to use our X6Cr17/AISI 430 stainless steel cutlery rivets?

First of all, it is not necessary, and even advised not to cut the stems at an approximate length of the rivets to be laid. They will be cut on demand during assembly due to economy concerns, but also, and above all, to avoid any error of length.

Once all the parts of your knife are shaped, rough and pierced, the first step will be to assemble the plates and spring with Ø2 or 2.2 mm threads.

Insert the rod by allowing to exceed on each side just the length necessary to be able to matte the ends with a small hammer avoiding creating too large a thickness, but enough for the whole to be maintained.

Then assemble the ribs of the handle, blade and possibly other accessories ( mitres, corkscrew, second blade, alternate, etc.) by inserting the stainless steel wire corresponding to the bore diameter (Ø2.2 mm for handle and mitres and Ø2.4 mm for blades and movable accessories).

Cut the required thread length once it is inserted into each of the drills, allowing to exceed by a few millimeters on each side.

At this stage, no rivet is mated or permanently fixed so that a perfect adjustment can be made.

Be careful not to forget any elements during the pre-assembly to avoid any bad surprise on the length of rivets, and in particular if there are plans for rosettes of pleasure on the axis of blades.

When the adjustment and complete alignment of the parts are carried out, the time has come to gear the stainless steel cutlery rivets with firm repeated strokes, but measured, with a small hammer, while making a circular movement to give the head of the rivet a rounded shape (moletoning).

The principle of riveting with stainless steel cutlery rivets is to slightly inflate their ends so that they keep the whole knife without blocking the moving elements (lames, corkscrew, alene, etc.).
