Riveted joints are among the oldest and most reliable connections used in mechanical and Structural engineering. Whether you are studying mechanical systems (or) working on traditional infrastructure understanding Rivet is essential. in this guide, we will cover what Riveted joints are, their key types, Mechanical advantages, manufacturing processes, limitations, and modern uses.
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 and also made with mild steel and aluminium alloy where needed. A rivet is specified by the diameter of the shank.
