A rivet is a short metal pin for holding two or more pieces of metal together.  The typical rivet has a head, shank, and tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical riveting process involves heating a rivet, placing it in a hole through two pieces of metal, upsetting the tail of the rivet to expand the tail into a second head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riveting Videos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6mbAgLEEKtg\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6mbAgLEEKtg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CVjS1DsqYvo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CVjS1DsqYvo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"411\" src=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Riveted20Photo520LewisWickesHine.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"400\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Riveted20Photo520LewisWickesHine.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/?attachment_id=400\" class=\"wp-image-400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Riveted20Photo520LewisWickesHine.jpg 581w, https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Riveted20Photo520LewisWickesHine-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"304\" height=\"241\" src=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7.HdHansteenRiveting-adj.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"397\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7.HdHansteenRiveting-adj.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/?attachment_id=397\" class=\"wp-image-397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7.HdHansteenRiveting-adj.jpg 304w, https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7.HdHansteenRiveting-adj-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen rivets on an old steel bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"274\" src=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OIP0JF82ZVE.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"399\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OIP0JF82ZVE.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/?attachment_id=399\" class=\"wp-image-399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OIP0JF82ZVE.jpg 474w, https:\/\/ferrousengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OIP0JF82ZVE-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sky scrapers, ships, bridges, even early submarines were built using rivets.

There are flush mounted rivets, blind rivets (pop-rivets, Oscar rivets, drive rivets), semi-tubular rivets.  Today structural steel construction has replaced the use of rivets with high-strength bolts and welding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the blacksmith still uses rivets as a method of joining metal together.  Rivets may also be used as a decorative design element.  Don&#8217;t forget that most tongs are riveted together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most rivets use round shanks a blacksmith can think outside of this constraint and make rivets and holes of any shape.  Square or rectangular holes and rivets can be achieved by a blacksmith (there are structural considerations).  A mortise and tenon joint can effectively be locked in placed by upsetting the protruding tenon like a rivet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technique things to remember:  For non-moving joints, the pieces being joined must be tightly fit together and the rivet must be upset enough to contact the pieces being joined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There more than a few ways to attach metal with one of those methods being riveting.
