DIN660 Steel Domed Head Solid Rivets

Nov. 01, 2024

Solid rivets are a standard fastener widely used in various heavy industrial fields. They are often used to fix, connect, or reinforce various parts in ships, bridges, railways, mines, steel structures, and other fields.

How to use solid rivets

Solid rivets are a commonly used connecting element in machinery, automobiles, ships, and other industries. They have the characteristics of simple structure, easy installation, and firm connection, so they play an important role in various fields. The following will introduce the use of solid rivets in detail.

1. The basic concept and structure of solid rivets

Solid rivets are composed of two parts: rivets and rivet caps. The rivet is made of softer metal, with one end being cylindrical and the other hemispherical, while the rivet cap is made of harder metal and is disc-shaped. Solid rivets are inserted into the holes of the two workpieces to be connected by inserting their hemispherical ends, and then a hammer or pneumatic tool is used on the other side to knock the rivet cap to form an expansion and compression connection with the rivet head.

2. Steps for using solid rivets

1. Preparation: First, you must confirm whether the workpiece to be connected is suitable for connecting solid rivets. If the workpiece is thin or needs to be frequently disassembled, this connection method is inappropriate. At the same time, you also need to prepare the required solid rivets and corresponding tools.

2. Punching: According to the actual situation, punch holes of corresponding diameters on the two workpieces will be connected. The hole size should match the diameter of the solid rivet to ensure a firm connection.

3. Installing solid rivets: Insert the hemispherical end of the solid rivet into the hole of one of the workpieces, ensuring no apparent gap between the rivet and the hole wall. Then, align the other workpiece with the rivet and press it with your hand to make it fit tightly.

4. Knock the rivet cap: Use a hammer or pneumatic tool to knock the rivet cap from the other side to form an expansion and compression connection with the rivet head. When knocking, pay attention to moderate strength to avoid deformation or damage caused by excessive knocking.

5. Check the connection quality: After installing, check whether the connection is firm. Gently pull the two workpieces to confirm whether they feel loose. If there is a sense of looseness, you need to reinstall or replace the solid rivet.

III. Precautions in the use of solid rivets

1. Select the appropriate solid rivet model and specification to ensure that its diameter and length match the workpiece to be connected.

2. When punching holes, consider the accurate position, hole size, and smooth hole wall to ensure that solid rivets can be inserted and expanded smoothly.

3. When installing solid rivets, keep the workpieces aligned and close to avoid gaps or misalignment.

4. When knocking the rivet cap, pay attention to moderate force and do not knock excessively to cause deformation or damage.

5. After completing the connection, check whether the connection part is firm. If looseness or a loose connection is found, the solid rivet should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

4. Advantages and application scope of solid rivets

1. Advantages: Solid rivets have the advantages of simple structure, easy installation, and firm connection. They can withstand large tensile and shear forces and have good seismic resistance.

2. Application scope: Solid rivets are widely used in machinery, automobiles, ships, electronic equipment, and other industries. In automobile manufacturing, they are often used to connect body panels; in machinery manufacturing, they are often used to connect metal components, etc.

Summary:

Through the above-detailed introduction, we have learned the basic concept and structure of solid rivets and mastered the steps and precautions for using them. As an essential connection element, solid rivets have sound connection effects and a wide range of applications. In actual operation, we should choose the appropriate solid rivet model and specification according to the specific situation and operate strictly according to the instructions to ensure the quality and safety of the connection.
