RIVET

A type of non-threaded fastener that consists of a shank and a head made of deformable material. Rivets are inserted through holes, and the shank is formed into a matching head on the other side of the part. Rivet made of a material that has wrought a good character. Usually for heavy construction work such as bridges and boilers, used steel rivets. For light work copper rivets, brass or aluminum is used.

Types of Rivet :
There are a number of types of rivets, designed to meet different cost, accessibility, and strength requirements. Solid/round head rivets High-strength structural steel rivets Semi-tubular rivets Blind rivets Oscar rivets Drive rivet Flush rivet Friction-lock rivet Self-pierce rivets

Rivet sets Sets are used to bridge plate rivets and rivet head round head shape. Sets rivets made from tool steel and its length is between 100 mm - 150 mm. At the bottom there occurred and pierce a small hole to the edge of the rivet set. Once the rivet has been inserted into the holes have been drilled in the plate. The stalk protruding from the plate inserted into the small hole. And knock the rivet set to bridge plate fragments produced during the process of bridging plates issued through small holes that penetrate the other holes and shallow concave shape function to form a round head.

Riveting Methods Riveting can be done in two ways, namely merivet merivet hot and cold.

Hot Riveting Once the rivets inserted into the end of the rivet hole our component is heated to temperatures so wrought rivet head can be formed with the help of heat. Riveting propane gives several advantages of bonding is stronger.

Cold Riveting Processing is done in cold riveting room temperature. In the process of cold merivet rivets should not be heated first.

Head Styles Head styles are selected on the basis of either functional requirements or aesthetic appeal. Functional requirements may be:

Head flushness (level with material surface) Shear, peel and fatigue strength Locator or mechanical stop Large bearing surface Attachment points for secondary parts

Countersunk Head

Benefits:

Flushness on the head side of the joint Good fatigue resistance

Flat, Pan and Dome Head

Benefits:

Provides good peel strength, especially in plastics or thin sheet metals Allows good head seating, especially when riveting thick or very hard materials Accentuates the aesthetics of a riveted joint and/or covers surrounding indentation on a Class A surface

Special Head Styles

Special rivet head styles are supplied when there is a need to combine the functions of the self pierce rivet and an additional feature.

Rivet Length & Stem Diameter

Rivet length is always matched to the stack thickness to be fastened. A given rivet length will cover a range of material stacks. Testing is carried out to determine the suitability of the rivet length for the material and thickness range being riveted. Henrob offers rivets in lengths of 4 to 14mm. There are two standard diameters, 3mm and 5mm. The criteria for selecting the appropriate rivet diameter include:

Required strength of joint Required robustness of joint Available access to joining area Material thickness and hardness

Usage of Rivets

Fastest way to join materials. Used to hold metal parts together. Used to support tension and shear load Use for joining aircraft skin sections Used for joining spar sections Used for holding rib sections in place Used for fastening innumerable bracing members and other parts together Used for securing fittings to various parts of the aircraft Used for eavy construction work such as bridges and boilers.

Security steps
Do not play or joke around with co-workers while working steel. Wear appropriate clothing to work Wear gloves and safety shoes while at work Comply with the instructions and safety rules Taking into account the ability of self Using hand tools appropriate to the work done Identify causes of accidents often occur when work is done Identify measures to prevent accidents a. 1.Always in good condition b. 2.Make sure oiled it with oil after use c. 3.Make sure sharp teeth and its setting right d. 4.Avoid tools and other materials scattered e. 6.Check the machine before use f. 7.Dont exchange or replace of the machine tool when it is still running g. 8.Do work attentively. avoid joking h. 9. Use guards as required while working i. 11.Adjust safety with the use of equipment

METHOD OF FIXING STELL STRUCTURES


BOLT DAN NUT
Connectivity is used as a temporary connection to structural steel members. It consists of fiber washers bolts and nuts, washers which aims to stop the preferment. Linking metal can be done in various ways either permanently or temporary. Temporary connection is a connection that uses a threaded fastener screws because it can be easily transferred. semi-permanent connection also is a connection by using the additive metal alloying metal to be joined. An example of this connection is soft solder joints and brazing. This connection can be separated by melting of the additive. Permanent connections were carried out using high heat to melt metal to be joined. Examples of this method is that the connection with connection gas welding and arc welding connection. This method is a method of permanent connection.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL


Head shape is dependent on the suitability of bollocks, it usually hexagonal or square at one end and there is a thread on the other end.

Bolt usually made of mild steel or high tensile steel. Size is determined by size balls diameter, length, and type of screw thread. Nat hexagon also comprises nuts, nuts and nut ears of

USAGE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY


1.Fasteners and docking is used to connect parts together that are not on the component. 2. This section is the one that can be opened and installed. 3. The component parts can be connected in a temporary or permanent i. Connectivity while: a. screw b. bolt c. ii nut. permanent joint 4. Bolts and nuts are usually used to fasten the machine.

Nat has a thread in the nut and the size is determine d by a threaded hole diameter. Consists of various types in accordanc e with, nuts, hexagonal , nut city, ear nut, square nut

Used with balls or studs

Square nut balls used in general assembly work. Hexagonal nut used with balls or studs in the general assembly work. Ear nut is used in places that require strong pressure without using a socket or wrench. Nat sides of the city are used together with a pin to hold the nut out of the anus.
