- A rivet is a
mechanical fastener
- There are a number of
rivets, designed to meet different cost, accessibility, and strength
requirements. These include: solid rivets, blind rivets, multi-grip
rivets, grooved rivets,
peel type blind rivets, self-pierce rivets, plastic rivets, tubular
rivet, etc.
- Aluminium and its
alloy are strong, durable and light weight. In today’s energy
conscious society, these three
basic properties combine to make the metal and its alloy the
preferred material of construction for transport
applications. Products like automobiles, aircraft, ships,
conductors, and trains are all obvious examples.
- Aluminium rivets are
an ideal lightweight yet secure way of fixing multiple materials
perfect for aluminium sheet. Rivet known as “blind” are designed for
joining material only accessible from one side or two.
- Before being
installed, a rivet
consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The
end opposite the head is called the buck-tail. On installation the
rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset,
or bucked or deformed, so that it expands to about 1.5 times the
original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place
- The rivets shall be
made by cold forging and shall subsequently be appropriately heat
treated, if
necessary.
- Aluminum rivets shall
be made
from Aluminum rivet stock conforming to IS 740.
- Rivets have wide
application in the manufacturing sector as well as during
maintenance of various products
- Rivet has wide
application in the structural parts of aircraft, in static
structures such as bridges, cranes and building frames. It is also
used in manufacture or repair of truck bodies.
- For cost effective
production, Al-Cu alloy is best suitable for the production of
rivets, because it is relatively affordable and lighter in weight
than copper and its strength to resist impact force is higher
compared to aluminium.
