Rivets:
- Rivets are used to join together two or more sheets of metal permanently.
- In sheet metal work riveting is done where:
- brazing is not suitable
- the structure changes owing to welding heat
- the distortion due to welding cannot be easily removed etc.
- Rivets are made of ductile materials like low carbon sheet (mild steel), brass, copper, yellow brass, aluminum are their alloys.
Shearing area of riveted joint = n ×
Where n = Number of rivets, d = diameter of the rivet
Calculation:
Given:
n = 10, d = 4 mm
∵ Shearing area of riveted joint = n ×
⇒ Shearing area of riveted joint = 10 ×
⇒ Shearing area of riveted joint = 40π
