necessary to achieve optimum properties for the nut/sheet combination. Please contact PROFIL for a discussion in this
case.

Riveting process:
During the riveting process, the rivet section plunges through the prebeaded and pierced sheet metal part and, in
continuation of the closing movement of the pierce head, it is then formed into a rivet head which encloses the sheet
material water-tight on all sides.

The processing company shall be responsible for the monitoring and qualitative assessment of the riveting process.
1)
Water-tightness shall be ascertained by the user by means of a performance test, whereby the forming behavior of the
metal sheet material and the fastener as well as the processing stages for the end product and the operating conditions
in practical application shall be observed.

A.3 Cracking of rivet nuts and studs

In the case of RND, RSN and RSF rivet nuts, material and surface cracks may occur in the area of the riveted
section following riveting; refer to Fig. 1. These material and surface cracks are created as a result of
deviating/not properly adjusted pressing forces or insufficient lubrication during the pressing process, but will be
accepted to a certain extent. Care shall be taken to ensure that the cracks do not affect the strength of the
component. Test pull-out forces and torques. If the values are ok, the connection is good. In case of doubt, the
fastener technology representative shall assess and approve the fastener to technically assure the intended
subsequent application.
