Rivets are used to fasten permanently two or more plates or metal. The joints which are made by rivets are called “Riveted Joints”. Plates which are jointed together by means of a riveted jointed cannot be removed without chipping-off rivet heads from one side of the joint.
A rivet consists of the following:
(i) a head,
(ii) cylindrical body or shank,
(iii) slightly tapered tail.
Rivets are generally made of C-30 metal. A rivet is specified by the diameter of the shank.
