SOLID RIVETS

WHAT IS A SOLID RIVET?

In solid impact riveting, a compressive axial load is applied to the end of the rivet shank.

This causes the rivet shank to swell through out its length as it shortens under the load.

The rivet shank continues to expand, until the hole in the parts being assembled restrict it from further expansion. The unrestricted rivet end then expands, forming the rivet clinch, as shown in the sequence to the right.

This is an excellent method of permanently assembling solid materials.
