A rivet is a nin-shaped object used to connect two parts (or members) with a through hole and a cap at one end. During the riveting process, it uses its own deformation or interference to connect the parts being riveted. Rivets have a wide range of uses, specifically described as follows:
First, the basic purpose
Rivets are mainly used for the connection riveting between objects, and are operated by specific special tools (such as riveting guns, hand hammers, etc.) to achieve the fastening connection of two or more parts (or components).
Second, specific application areas
1. Industrial manufacturing:
– In the manufacture of vehicles, ships, aircraft and other means of transportation, rivets are used to connect metal structural parts to ensure the stability of the body, hull, wing, etc.
– In the field of construction, rivets are used to connect steel structures, bridge members, etc., to improve the overall strength and stability of the building.
2. Mechanical equipment:
– In various mechanical equipment, rivets are used to fix gear, bearings, transmission parts and other key components to ensure the normal operation of the machine.
3. Electronic products:
– in electronic equipment such as computer chassis, radiator and fixed between the chip and other occasions, rivet used to connect and fixed internal components, to prevent vibration and reduce noise.
4. Furniture manufacturing:
– In the furniture manufacturing process, rivets are used to connect wood, metal frames and other components to ensure the stability and durability of the furniture.
Third, the specific use of different types of rivets
1. Half round head rivet:
– Mainly used for riveting with large lateral load, the most widely used.
2. Flat cone head rivet:
Ingeneral, corrosion – because the nailhead hypertrophy, often used in the hull, such as boiler water tank corrosion strong riveting occasions.
3. Countersunk head rivets:
– it is mainly used for surface should be smooth, with load is not big, riveting occasion, such as furniture manufacturing, electronic components inside the equipment connection, etc.
4. Core rivets:
– It is a kind of rivet for single riveting, especially suitable for riveting occasions where it is inconvenient to use ordinary rivets (which must be riveted from both sides), such as the manufacturing of construction, automobiles, ships, aircraft and other products.
5. Core rivets:
– Shows a unique advantage in the working conditions where the space is narrow or the rivet gun cannot be used, and the riveting operation can be completed by simply hitting the core with a single side such as a hammer.
6. Plastic tree rivets:
– suitable for foam, soft material such as wood, rubber and car interior fastening between the excellent insulation, fire prevention performance and non-magnetic characteristics.
Fourth, the summary
As an important fastener, rivets play an indispensable role in various fields. The type is various, different types of rivet is suitable for the different operation requirements and environmental conditions. By reasonable selection and use of rivet, durable and can ensure the stability of the fittings to improve the overall performance of the product and quality.
