Applications of Rivets
Structural work Bridges
:
Aircraft Ship building
Tanks Boiler shells
Material of Rivets
The material of the rivets must be tough and ductile.
-
They are usually made of steel (low carbon steel or nickel steel), brass, aluminium
or copper.
-
When strength and a fluid tight joint is the main consideration, then the steel rivets
are used.
