I am currently working on the construction of an Italian-designed microlight
On my plan I have an assembly with FE rivets to hit
What does the FE designation mean?
Hello
Could you give us the complete reference of the rivet?
Thank you
Cdt
It is likely that this refers to an NF E standard and not FE
See here where it is explained that pure NF standards practically no longer exist but are taken up at the European level, hence the E
e.g. for a 100 HV steel washer NFE 27153R
Kind regards

Wouldn't that mean matter? -> steel
Thank you for your answers
Unfortunately I'm not the rapunzel
I have aluminum parts to assemble that correspond to the articulation of the flaps and 3mm rivet spoiler
I'm afraid of making a mistake on the choice of the rivet material, my microlight has a VNE of 320KH
Thank you
Hello
Regarding the designation, would it be possible to have an image of the plan or at least more information about it?
If you are looking for a specific type of rivet, I advise you to look into the rivets generally used in aeronautics. That is to say the Duralumin or the Titanium.
FE may not be the material but rather the way to mount the rivet. (Milled/embedded?)

If we assume that the F is for milling,
and the E material: 7050-T73
The next step should be the diameter, the length and the treatment
There is no more complete ref on the plan or the nomenclature?

Hello
Thank you for your interest in my question
The parts to be assembled, 2 sides in 2 mm taken from a central core of 6mm or even 8mm

Hello
I just put a wooden deck and on my screws there was a Fe/zing indication; they were made of iron/zinc-plated. I don't know if that helps you...

Thank you
Hello D.ludovic
In response I attached a photo of the plan
Hello
Here are the rivets that are indicated in your plan.

It is indeed steel rivet (normal given the forces they will undergo) but be careful or bouterollage: you need the right tools or you will damage your flaps which are parts that are quite stressed. If I understood the assembly correctly, the rivets must work essentially in shear like pins. The other parts are held together by bolt nuts. Since there is play in the bolt rods, the rivets prevent the parts from getting loose and end up loosening (and you have to go to the cows). Thus, bolts work as is their purpose only in compression and rivets in shear and incidentally in holding.
Note: you must have elsewhere in your doc the references of your rivets
