Definition of rivet: A rod-shaped part made of metal with a cap at one end. After penetrating the connected components, the other end is punched and pressed out at the outer end of the rod to compress and fix the components. 

A rivet is a nail-shaped object with a cap on one end: in riveting, the riveted parts are connected by their own deformation or interference. 


What types of rivets are there?

Commonly used are R-type rivets, fan rivets, blind rivets (blind rivets), tree rivets, semi-circular head, flat head, semi-hollow rivets, solid rivets, countersunk head rivets, blind rivets, hollow rivets, these are usually used Self-deformation connection is riveted. 

Introduction of rivet: a type of fastener consisting of a head and a shank, which is used to fasten and connect two parts (or components) with through holes to make them a whole. This form of connection is called rivet connection, or riveting for short. It belongs to the non-detachable connection. Because to separate the two parts that are joined together, the rivets on the parts must be broken.


The difference between rivets and screws: 

  1. Rivets deform by themselves, generally one end becomes larger, and two (or more than two) parts are connected together. Usually after riveting, the rivet must be broken if the part is to be disassembled. When choosing rivets, see if the object is disassembled next time and whether it can be used again, because the rivets are riveted all at once and cannot be disassembled. The rivet has no teeth, and the head of the rod is used to prevent the object from sliding out.

  2. 2. The screw is screwed into the body of the part to connect the parts. So if you want to split the parts, you just need to unscrew the screw, and the screw will not be damaged and can be used repeatedly. In addition, the screws can be disassembled. It is best to use screws or screws on the objects that can be used twice. The screws and screws are toothed. Self-tapping screws are directly drilled into objects, and screws and screws need to be matched with nuts.
