Riveting principle

Rivet connection is a non-detachable static connection, which connects two or more components (usually plates or profiles) together with rivets. Rivets are hollow and solid. The most commonly used riveting is solid rivet connection. Solid rivet connection is mostly used to connect metal parts with high stress, while hollow rivet connection is used to connect thin plates or non-metal parts with low stress.

Riveting can be divided into cold riveting and hot riveting. Hot riveting has good sealing, but there is a gap between the riveting rod and the nail hole, so it can't participate in force transmission. When cold riveting, the nail rod is upset, the nail hole is full, and there is no gap between the nail rod and the nail hole.

Development history

The earliest rivets are small pegs made of wood or bone, and the earliest metal deformation may be the ancestors of rivets as we know them. There is no doubt that they are the oldest known metal connection methods, which can be traced back to the initial use of malleable metals.

19 16, when H. V. White of British Aircraft Manufacturing Company first obtained the patent of blind rivet that can be riveted on one side, people hardly expected that this kind of rivet would be so widely used. From aerospace to office machines, electronic products and playground equipment.

It can be said that this blind rivet has become an effective and stable mechanical connection. It is not clear when the blind rivet was invented, but the harness was invented in the 9th century or10th century.
