 WHAT IS RIVETING?
5. Riveting is a forging process that may be used to join parts together by way of a metal part
called a rivet.

 TYPES OF RIVET GUNS

Different Types of rivet guns:

• Hand Rivet Gun

• Heavy Duty Lever Riveter

• Cordless Battery Riveting Tool

• Pneumatic Rivet Gun

 Hand rivet gun

- Hand powered POP rivet guns work with a simple lever and squeeze technique.
The first step when using one, is to choose the appropriate sized nose piece.
Rivet guns normally come with several options to fit a range of blind rivets.
Hand-operated riveters fit a variety of rivets, are usually made of mostly steel
with a rubber grip and offer the cheapest cost.
 Heavy Duty Lever Riveter
- Heavy Duty Lever Riveting Tools are the next step up in rivet guns. They also
come with nose pieces but work with a wider range of rivet sizes. Lever rivet
tools tend to be more heavy duty than a hand rivet gun and are easier on the
user.
 Cordless Battery Riveting Tool
- Battery Powered POP Rivet Guns come in many varieties. The two main types
function basically the same way, except for the last step. One type of battery
powered rivet gun spits the mandrel out from the front of the gun and the other
pulls the mandrel into a mandrel holder, so you do not need to worry about
them until emptying the catch.
 PNEUMATIC RIVET GUN
- Pneumatic Rivet Guns are powered by compressed air to very quickly and easily
install blind rivets. With a built-in catch, the pneumatic riveting tool is easily the
fastest way to install rivets.
 TYPES OF RIVETS
Different Types of rivets:
• Blind rivets.
• Solid/round head rivets.
• Structural rivets.
 BIND RIVETS
- Blind rivets or break stem rivets are tubular fasteners with a mandrel through
the center. Blind rivets are inserted into drilled holes in the parts to be joined,
and a special tool is used to draw the mandrel through the body of the rivet.
The blind end expands, and the mandrel is snapped off.
 SOLID RIVETS
- Solid rivets are among the simplest, most reliable, and oldest types of fasteners.
These simple devices consist of a solid shaft with a head on one end; once
installed, the headless end of a solid rivet is deformed with a hammer or rivet
gun to hold it in place.
 STRUCTURAL RIVETS
- Structural rivets are made of steel, they're used in the construction of bridges,
high-rise buildings, storage sheds and more. Structural rivets are typically
heated in a furnace prior to installation to make the meatal softer, more flexible
and easier to work with.

 PROCESS OF RIVETING
- A straight metal piece is connected through the parts. then both ends are
formed over the connection, joining the parts securely.
the metal workpiece used to form the connection may be hollow or it may be
solid. rivets have many uses, such as in the construction and sheet metal
industries.
 Application Of Riveting

These are some applications of Riveted joints:

• Rivet joints are permanent joints used mainly for fastening sheets and shaped rolled
metal.
• Used for aircraft structure where Aluminum is used.
• It’s used in the manufacturing of bus and trolleybus bodies to create a heavily loaded
joint
• Used for metals that have poor weldability.
• It is used where we have to avoid after thermal effects, as in the case of welding.
• Welded joints have poor vibration damping capabilities so where required rivets are
used in place of it.
BASIC GRINDING TOOLS

 GRINDING TOOL BITS

- When you purchase a new tool bit, it might have an angle on the end, but it is
not properly sharpened for turning. Grinding tool bits is a bit of an art. It takes
some practice to get good at it. You need to create a cutting edge that is sharp,
extends out so that the cutting edge and not the side of the tool contacts the
work, but that still has enough support to maintain sufficient strength to cut
metal.

 TERMS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW

- Side Cutting Edge - The side cutting edge does most of the cutting. As the tool bit moves
along the workpiece the side cutting edge removes most of the material.
- Front Cutting Edge - The front cutting edge cuts when the tool is advanced into the
work.
- Nose - The nose is a critical part of the cutting edge, because it produces the surface
finish of the work piece.
- Side Rake - The side rake produces the side cutting edge that cuts into the workpiece.
- Side Relief - Side relief provides clearance for the side cutting edge. Without side relief,
the side of the tool bit would hit the workpiece and not allow the cutting edge to
penetrate the workpiece.
- Back Rake - The back rake produces the front cutting edge that cuts into the workpiece.
- Front Relief - Front relief provides clearance for the front cutting edge.

 SURFACE GRINDING
- Grinding, or abrasive machining, once performed on conventional milling machines,
lathes and shapers, are now performed on various types of grinding machines.
- Grinding machines have advanced in design, construction, rigidity and application far
more in the last decade than any other standard machine tool in the manufacturing
industry. Grinding machines fall into five categories: surface grinders, cylindrical
grinders, centerless grinders, internal grinders and specials.

 SURFACE GRINDERS

- Horizontal spindle/reciprocating table.

- Horizontal spindle/rotary table.

- Vertical spindle/reciprocating table.

- Vertical spindle/rotary table

 CYLINDRICAL GRINDING

- Cylindrical Grinding is a grinding process were we use to shape the object.

 - In this, the grinding wheel must be constantly rotating and fed towards and away from
the workpiece to give the desire shape
- Independent, universal and collet chucks can be used on cylindrical grinders when the
work is odd-shaped or contains no center hole. These also are used for internal grinding
operations.

 CENTERLESS GRINDING
- Centerless grinding is the process of removing material from the outside diameter of a
work piece using an abrasive wheel. In its simplest form, a centerless grinder consists of
the machine base, grinding wheel, regulating wheel and work blade.

 INTERNAL GRINDING
- Internal grinders are used to finish straight, tapered or formed holes accurately.

 SPECIAL GRINDING PROCESSES
- Special types of grinders are grinding machines made for specific types of work and
operations, for example: Tool and cutter grinders. These grinding machines are designed
to sharpen milling cutters, reamers, taps and other machine tool cutters.
