Which rivets should be selected to join two sheets of .032-inch aluminum?

MS20470AD-4-4
MS20426AD-6-5
DD rivet
2117-T3

The correct answer is: MS20470AD-4-4

When selecting rivets to join two sheets of .032-inch aluminum, the key criteria is the grip range of the rivet. This refers to the thickness of material that the rivet can effectively join together. Option A, MS20470AD-4-4, has a grip range of .125-.187 inches, which falls within the .032-inch thickness of the aluminum sheets. Option B, MS20426AD-6-5, has a grip range of .031-.094 inches, which is too small to accommodate the thickness of the aluminum sheets. Option C, DD rivet, is not a standard rivet type and is not appropriate for this application. Option D, 2117-T3, refers to the material and temper type of the rivet, but does not specify the grip range. Therefore, option A, MS20470AD-4-4, is the most suitable choice for joining two sheets of .032-inch aluminum.
