When I reassembled this plate for the PM generator project I used AN426AD610 rivets. I needed the countersunk rivets for this to fit against the rotor cup and I figured that using the AD rivets just made sense in this application. I did use a hydraulic press to squeeze them.

Preliminary thoughts are that I may change from -6A rivets to -6AD. The As were chosen for the same reason that steel rivets were not acceptable. That might have been over reaction.
I was going to ask about that. For those who haven’t looked it up; the “A”s are ‘soft 1100 grade aluminum with tensile strength of 16,000 psi; the “AD”s are 2117 Al with tensile strength of 38,000 and shear of 26,000 psi. A considerable step up in strength.
