How to glue a copper rivet with a hammer. Hand tools

Rleeping metal

Metal riveting is understood to mean the process of forming an unusual connection of the elements of the created structure, characterized by a relatively small thickness. They resort to it when the welding is inconvenient, or if parts from the inconspicuous material are subject to conjugation. Another available option. the use of a bolt connection. also has disadvantages: its installation takes a longer period of time, and the components included in it are more expensive.

Simplicity of fulfillment. this is why most home masters prefer this particular method of fastening metal sheets. A rivet with a hat and a rod is inserted into a through pre.created hole. The head rests on the surface of one of the fastened elements, and the end of the rod protrudes beyond the opposite edge of the nest. This part of the fasteners under the influence of external force is flattened. As a result, T.n. Closing head, which:

prevents the free extraction of rivets from the mounting hole;

provides reliable fastening of elements

Types of riveting joints

According to the criterion “Method of connecting the plates”, rivets are customary to divide the 2.type:

an overlap. another is applied to one metal plate;

VSTOK. the sheets are located so that their side faces are in contact. And their connection is carried out by one or two flat linings.

Another criterion is applied. the location of the rivets. According to him, the compounds formed through these fasteners are one-, two- and multi-row parts. Rivets can be located in a checkerboard pattern. Another widespread option is one opposite the other. Depending on the sphere of purpose, rivets are divided into:

durable. They are implemented during riveting of supports that perform the supporting function. in other words, columns, elements of bridge structures, metal beams of a hard frame, etc.D.;

Farrous. Along with strength, they ensure the tightness of fastening. It is widely used for riveting boilers and pipeline highways, functioning under the influence of increased pressure of working substances located in a gaseous or liquid aggregate state;

dense. Realized when the critical connection parameter is only the strength of the seam. They are found in such types of equipment such as tanks, tanks and slightly loaded, characterized by varying degrees of complexity, pipelines.

The use of rivets

The choice of specific parameters and varieties of fasteners is determined by three main criteria:

• Ensuring the necessary strength strength, taking into account additional parameters and seam requirements;
• Technological capabilities of equipment for working with a specific type of rivet connection;
• Economic feasibility of using riveted compound;

Threaded nuts-clicks

The method of connection using threaded rivets can be called the most universal today. The main idea of ​​the connection is the witty idea of ​​fixing the body of the rivet in the riveted hole. For these purposes, a rivet for threaded rivets is used. The threaded structure itself is a half.liner with internal thread.

When performing the connection, this sleeve is inserted into a drilled hole and is aligned so that the united parts are tightly adjacent to each other. After that, the rifle rod is screwed into the threaded hole inside the workpiece. The front wall of the sleeve is fixed by the supporting surface of the tool, preventing the rivet from leaving the hole. To plug the sleeve, the rod of the rivet moves with great effort towards the supporting surface. The sleeve is crushed and besieged, thereby forming a strong motionless connection.

The rod of the riveper is freely wrapped from the body of the sleeve. Most often used rivets aluminum, brass or copper. The use of the latter is limited by high cost, so they are established in cases where it is necessary to provide good electrical contact between the cooked surfaces.

The advantages of the threaded rivet connection include its “low.traumatic”. When the rifle rod is operating, the connected metal does not experience large loads or deformations. A threaded sleeve is easy to connect a thin.walled metal or a profile of complex configuration. Such fasteners are widely used in the assembly of household appliances, in the combination of individual components of car facing, in the manufacture of various kinds of structures from corrugated board.

Exhaust rivets

The disadvantage of the threaded types of riveting is their high cost and a relatively low speed of the compounds. Therefore, for cases when the connected sheets of metal, profiles are required to be connected using several hundred or thousands of points, the exhaust type of rivet is used.

It can be steel, brass metizes, rivets made of aluminum, aluminum alloys and silicon. Unlike a threaded, in an exhaust scheme, the deformation of the sleeve is carried out using a rod with a thickening at the end, pressed into the body of the fastener. As in the previous case, in order to besiege the body of the rivets, its end is rested on the supporting surface of the rivet, after alignment the central rod is pulled out with an effort to several millimeters. As a result of the walls of the sleeve, they are deformed, forming a fairly strong unwritten connection. The shank of the rod is most often broken off or trimmed along the level of cutting of the sleeve.

Note ! The exhaust circuit provides a very good riveting speed of the metal.

The classic design of the rivet

The main metiz for riveting sheets in mechanical engineering is the steel rivets, normalized by the requirements of Soviet GOST 10299 80. They most often connect highly loaded steel structures used in the construction business. For example, in frames and supporting assemblies. The advantage of the classical form is the ability to connect two sheet surfaces with a thickness of more than 30 mm.

In some cases, GOST 10299 80 allows the assembly connection up to 35 mm. Unlike previous types of rivets, the classic rivet is installed only in the presence of a supporting surface from the back of the plane of the connection. This is necessary to compensate the shock load on the rivet shank.

Kleking technology is performed in the following order:

• The fishing line for the trimmer, according to which the rivet connection will be installed, are marked with dots for drilling holes in the connected metal.
• Metal sheets are fixed using mechanical devices such as clamps or even point welding. The extreme points of installation of fasteners are drilled, into which centering metal pins are inserted. In this case, the diameter of the holes is selected in accordance with the recommendations of GOST 10299 80 by about 10% more than the diameter of the body of the shank.
• Metiz is inserted into the drilled hole so that the head is on the back of the surface connected. The length of the fasteners is also selected in accordance with GOST 10299 80. This will ensure the formation of a second head from a tail of normal sizes after it is riveting with a hammer or electric drummer.

Note! The dimensions selected in accordance with GOST 10299 80 provide maximum compound strength.

When choosing a more thin rod in the diameter, its strength may not be enough for a hard connection. In this case, a cutting force in the radial direction is able to end most of the compounds in turn. After riveting, the fastener metal should completely fill the holes with a slight interference.

Do not neglect the recommendations of GOST 10299 80 when choosing the length of the tail of the fastener. Too long shank will interfere with the correct deformation and the besiege of the metal. Too short will not ensure the formation of the second head of the required size and strength.

To increase plasticity, rivets from certain brands of steel can be warmed up to high temperature with dentitions and hardening fasteners before installation. Rivets aluminum, copper, brass before installation can be treated with special liquids that prevent the development of electrochemical corrosion.

Rivets with a secret head

Similar elements have other names. shock, clogging. Riveting with this part is carried out in several cases:

Rivets can be overlapping, in the way, as well as chain and chess method.

about rivets for a hammer, watch in the video below.

Rolling is one of the simplest types of fasteners to create non.incompatible compounds. In the general case, it is a rod or tubular part, which has at one end the supporting “embedded” head of a certain shape. It is installed in the connection, as the name implies, by the method of scruffy (as well as shrinkage, roller rollers, broach, explosion).

By the shape of the riveting, you can conditionally divide into several main types:

• Rolling with a closing head (there are full.bodied, hollow and semi.empty)
• Rivets with a length (also called. tear.off or exhaust)
• Ribs rivets (also called. riveting nuts)

Closing a cloth

Historically, rivets with a closing head were historically invented. therefore, they were most widespread. Such rivets have a mortgage head on one side. The second head, called the closing, is formed using a roller or riveting tool: cloth hammer, ticks.

In the shape of the head of the riveting head with a closing head are divided into:

Also constructively, they differ in the presence of a hole inside the riveting:

• Full.bodied rivets. the hole is missing
• Hollow rivets. tubular. have a through hole
• Semi.empty rivets. under the collapse. have a dull hole

Materials for rivets

Rolling with a closing head can be made of a variety of metals and alloys, which are well lended on plastic deformation.

The following materials are most widely used:

• Steel. mainly plastic high.boiled steel 03kp, 05kp, 08kp, 10 kp, 15kp, 20kp
• Stainless steels. austenitic steel 12x18N9, 08x18N10, 03x18N11, 12x18N10T
• Aluminum alloys are the most applicable alloys of blood pressure, AD1, aluminum-magnesium alloys AMG2, AMG5, AMG5P, AMG6, alloys of the AMC, B94, B65, also use duralumin alloys D1, D16, D16T, D18, D18P, D19P, D19P
• Brass alloys. mainly the alloy L63
• Copper. brands MT, m3

Marking of rivets based on materials

Rolls can be marked on the head. for subsequent identification. Marking can be convex or concave (branding).

The following is a table with the marking of the main materials in the form of points or strokes.

The use of rivets

The choice of specific parameters and varieties of fasteners is determined by three main criteria:

• Ensuring the necessary strength strength, taking into account additional parameters and seam requirements;
• Technological capabilities of equipment for working with a specific type of rivet connection;
• Economic feasibility of using riveted compound;

Threaded nuts-clicks

The method of connection using threaded rivets can be called the most universal today. The main idea of ​​the connection is the witty idea of ​​fixing the body of the rivet in the riveted hole. For these purposes, a rivet for threaded rivets is used. The threaded structure itself is a half.liner with internal thread.

To plug the sleeve, the rod of the rivet moves with great effort towards the supporting surface. The sleeve is crushed and besieged, thereby forming a strong motionless connection.

The rod of the riveper is freely wrapped from the body of the sleeve. Most often used rivets aluminum, brass or copper. The use of the latter is limited by high cost, so they are established in cases where it is necessary to provide good electrical contact between the cooked surfaces.

The shank of the rod is most often broken off or trimmed along the level of cutting of the sleeve.

Note ! The exhaust circuit provides a very good riveting speed of the metal.

Installation of threaded rivets without rivets

It is far from always at its disposal there is an expensive professional tool. In addition, if it is necessary to perform one.time operations, its acquisition is inappropriate. In such cases, work is performed without using a special tool. There are several ways to glue a threaded rivet without a riveter. The easiest way to install threaded rivets without a riveper using an electric screwdriver. For this, a special nozzle is used, in the case of which there is a bolt with a collapsible stubborn bearing. A bolt, through a end nut with notches, screws into a rivet, which is then installed in the mounting hole. After that, an electric screwdriver is turned on and, due to the rotation of the bolt, an effort is created that forms a bundle and fixing a rivet. The tag of the rivet is prevented by the nut with notch and the stubborn bearing. After installation, it remains only to unscrew the bolt from the fasteners, transferring the electric screwdriver to the reverse rotation mode. This method makes it possible to use the usual electric screwdriver as an electric riveper. In the absence of a special nozzle, a similar design can be assembled manually.

In general, these methods make it possible to quite qualitatively perform the installation of threaded rivets without a rivets. The speed and complexity of installation depends on whether the power tool is used.

Rivets “under the hammer

The production of rivets “under the hammer” regulates the provisions of two regulatory documents: GOSTs 10299-80 and 10300-80. Consider them in more detail.

Execution and technical characteristics according to GOST 10299-80 norms

The state standard 0299, adopted in 1980, established one execution of fasteners of this type. Their feature is the head of a semi.sphere configuration.

The accuracy of the manufacture of rivets must comply with the requirements of class B and C. this is normal and gross accuracy, respectively.

The numerical values ​​of the technical characteristics are presented in the table. The designation of parameters is the same as in the drawing.

The metallurgical industry produces rivets “under the hammer” also with a secret head. The state standard 0300 of 1980 established one execution of these fasteners.

Technical characteristics of rivets “under a hammer” with a secret hat are indicated in the table. To designate the working parameters, letters displayed in the drawing were taken. Unit of measurement. millimeters.

Below is the image of a rivet fulfilled according to GOST 10300-80 norms.

How to remove a rivet. a few available ways

As we have already said, the type of connection under consideration is unusable, however, if you still need to disassemble the structure whose details are excited among themselves, you can use several different methods. The most common, which is usually applied to exhaust, explosive and split types of fasteners, as well as where secret heads take place. drilling. To do this, a drill corresponding to the alleged or precisely known diameter of the hole is installed exactly in the center of the mortgage or closing head, after which the hole is made to the required depth or through canal. After that, several exact blows can easily knock out the rivet.

The second method is somewhat laborious, however, quite effective for heads that are clearly visible above the surface, that is, for semicircular and conical. You will need a special chisel resembling a chisel shape, with which you need to cut a hat, striking sharp and strong blows at the back of the handle. A sharply sharpened chisel can also be suitable, but this tool is recommended only for rivets of small diameters. Fasteners with a rod of about 1 centimeter and more difficult to cut off in such a way.

The easiest method for removing rivets with protruding heads is to use an angular grinding machine, called a corner grind. It is best to install a cut disc for this purpose on it, and, having brought the head to the side, carefully cut it off. If at the same time there is a probability of damaging the surface of the part with which the connection is removed, it is recommended to use a rough grinding disk, with which the head is simply gently grinding to the base. Further, having installed any fairly sharp tool, for example, a punch, you can easily knock out a rod of a rivet from the hole with a strong blow of the hammer.

Recommendations for the choice of tools

Today, stores offer many varieties of manual rivets, which can be purchased at a price of about 2-3 tons. R. To select the most suitable model, you must first understand for what purposes you need a tool. If you decide to purchase it for a frequent connection of different elements of parts, we advise you to opt for a more expensive professional tool. All the rest will be quite enough and the budget model, which will cost it about 150-500 r.

If you want the tool to serve you for a long time, you should not only know how to choose a manual bracket, but also observe accuracy while using it. Otherwise, it will quickly break in your hands, even if it is an expensive professional tool from a well.known brand.

Price is one of the important factors that should be considered when choosing this device. But besides him, other characteristics are of no small importance:

• Material of rivets. You can buy any of the tools available in stores to connect aluminum parts. If you have to fix steel details, we advise you to make a choice in favor of more powerful rivets.
• Ease of use. If you plan to use fasteners of different diameters and from different material to connect, then it makes sense to purchase a two.handed model. When choosing an instrument, we advise you to pay attention to his head. It is desirable that she be a turning point. Then you can easily perform the connection in complex areas. Before buying, it will not hurt to find out if there is a set of interchangeable nozzles in the configuration. This is especially worth worrying about those who are going to use different fasteners to connect.
• An important characteristic that must be taken into account when choosing a riveter is the presence of a container for waste. It will be especially indispensable to those masters who are going to build a fence on the territory or lay a roof.

The most reliable connection of details

Sometimes, due to the features of the design, it is impossible to move the connection place. In this case, a special instruction that is fixed from the side of the head can help. When choosing the size and weight of the infusion, you need to take into account the thickness of the connection, as well as the material of the rivets. After that, you can start raising the free side.

It is optimal that the connecting metal fills the entire space of the opening, and the caps appear from each side, which must fix the details. This method can be resorted not only to connect the parts with each other, but also for embarrassing holes in one sheet. This method is often used by artisans when it is necessary to repair the leaky containers.

It is not always possible in the manufacture of metal structures that it is possible to combine parts using welding. In such cases, one has to resort to a more neat method of fixing the elements providing for the use of rivets. With its help, you can quickly fix the combined elements with each other. However, it must be remembered that the quality of the connection is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. It depends not only on the rivet, which manufacturers today produce in various versions.

An important role in the process of fixing the elements is played by the riveting fasteners itself. How long fastened details will remain in this position depend on its correct choice.

From novice masters, it is necessary not only to choose the right rivets, but also to learn how to connect parts using this fastener. It is very important to choose the right effort to fix the connected elements correctly here, otherwise these parts can get out of the product, as a result of which you will have to redo everything.

Manual riveper. a tool designed to fasten sheet materials. Most often with rivets, sheets of metal up to 3 mm thick are fastened with rivets, however, you can attach a sheet of metal to a profile or corner. We have a bastard exhaust, the principle of its action is slightly different than riveting with ordinary rivets and a hammer. In this article, we will consider the main types of manual riveting tools, how to choose rivets and how to use this device.

First of all, it is necessary to drill a hole through both fastened sheets, through and through. The diameter of the hole should be in the diameter of the rivets. Then we “charge” the rivet and insert it through both sheets and begin to squeeze the handle (you need more than one clamp). The rivet begins to flatten when the ball is completely drawn into a rivet. the tail of the rivet is bitten off. As a result, we have 2 sheets of metal stained on both sides. In the photo below, you can see the instructions in the pictures.

They shot a video with a partner for you how to use a riveter. I hope it will help you understand how and what to do.

Take, for example, the cheapest option from Stayer is the very first photo. He supports him all the diameters of the rivets (2.4 mm, 3.2, 4 and 4.8 mm), so you can choose the diameter of the rivets most suitable for fastened materials.

For example, thin rivets with a diameter of 2.4 mm are designed to fasten sheet material with a total thickness of up to 5 mm. Of course, there is still such a parameter of exhaust rivets as length. The longer the rivet, the more thick material can be fastened.

I bring to your attention a table of the ratio of the size of the rivets and the thickness of the material.

It differs from the usual one in that the “head” of the rivet can rotate 360 ​​degrees. This helps a lot when working in hard.to.reach places, where you can’t crawl out ordinary. True and it costs more expensive, about 350. We also consider the model of the company Styer.

For people who work on the riveper constantly, they release power options.

Differ from ordinary ones in that they squeeze it with both hands, respectively, forces are significantly saved. Imagine that you need to stuck 500 rivets. It will be difficult to perform such a volume of work with ordinary rivets, and you can stab all more quickly and without tension. What does the reinforced look like in the photo below.

Professional models with an increased service life

In addition to household models, for homework, there are also professional. Differ from households with a better performance and an increased service life. For example, the model of Kraftool. An ordinary, non.rotational model, but costs noticeably more. In the photo below the bracket craftol.

All rivets have 4 interchangeable nozzles-stucros for different rivets diameters. They change using a special key, which also includes.

Rivets are usually sold in small packages, 50 pieces. Rivets differ in diameter and length, the thicker and longer a rivet. the more expensive the packaging costs. For example:

When buying consumables, do not forget that rivets are needed for a rivet, exhaust. Otherwise the stores are sold in stores, which are riveted with a hammer.

Many have seen this device in stores selling the tool. but not everyone knows how to use it. Those who have never held an exhaust rivet in their hands will simply not be able to appreciate the convenience and universality of its application.

Ramping compounds were and remain universal and inexpensive way to shake various details. In shipbuilding and aircraft construction, this is generally the only way to fasten the casing to the frame.

The classic rivet looks as follows:

That is how they riveted the Titanic case and the pen to your frying pan.

Modern technologies affected this ancient way. In everyday life, few people use a hammer and a squeezing nozzle. There are semi.automatic tools that allow you to rivet the details to each other with almost one hand. True and rivets look somewhat different.

How to rivet rivets with a hammer correctly?

In modern designs, full.bodied rivets are less likely (for example, domestic standards GOST 10299 and GOST 10300 or German DIN 660 or DIN 661). We are following the path of simplification and saving of resources, therefore, the technology of exhaust rivets that appeared in the middle of the last century did not just take root, but took strong positions in the market of non.powerful formations. We examined in more detail the exhaust or blind rivets in the article “Peretnaya Group | General information ”, so today we note only its main advantages:

• Extra.riveting of any size can be installed alone. Many modern tools allow this procedure even with one hand.
• An exhaust rivet can be installed in a blind hole (when you do not have access to the back of the working surface). From here comes the name used in the domestic standards GOST: “Blind Rolling”.
• It is easier to drill an exhaust rivet if you suddenly needed a replacement.
• Availability on free sale is also a plus: a traction rivet can be bought in almost any fastener store or in the construction market.

However, there are spheres in which you can not do without the good old complete riveting or, as it is often called “clogging”.

Complete riveting has its advantages:

• She forms a fairly dense hermetic compound. During the installation process, the riveting tightly squeezes the connected surfaces and completely fills the hole in the connected materials.
• A full.shaped riveting consists of one material (there is no combination of materials, like an exhaust riveting), which reduces the risk of electro corrosion.
• A large selection of materials. the riveting is made not only of aluminum, copper, stainless and carbon steel (the most common materials for the production of exhaust rivets), but also acid.resistant steel AISI 316 (A4), copper, brass, titanium. Add here a larger number of possible rivets coating options.
• It is much more difficult to drill a full.bodied rivet, which increases the anti.vandal properties of the entire structure.
• And finally, the “rivet under the hammer” just looks beautiful! With proper installation, we get a very neat connection that looks good on both sides.

Tool for installing whole.metal rivets

With full.bodied rivets, everything is clear, now let’s see how and how to install them. just about this our article.

One of the names of an all.metal riveting is “Rolling under a hammer”. It is with the help of a hammer that this type of rivet is most often installed. Of course, there are also manual and pneumohydraulic press-cakes, but they will talk about them in another article. Today we are talking about riveting pneumatic women.

Riveter

A pneumatic cloth is a pneumatic piston piston machine of shock action. The key characteristics of the cloth hammer are the force of the impacts (it depends on this, the maximum size of the riveting that this or that tool is capable of installing) and their frequency (speed). In turn, these values ​​are determined by the pressure of the supplied air, as well as the diameter of the piston and the length of the trunk of the instrument. The higher the pressure, the higher the frequency of the blow. Most cloth hammers work with a pressure of 6.2 bar (90 psi), however, for a more accurate setting of the frequency of impacts, you can use the air supply regulator. it is often already included in the tool supply kit for the tool. Having installed such a regulator directly at the input of compressed air into the tool, we get the opportunity to configure the frequency of hammer strikes based on the requirements of our technical specifications. later we will figure out why this is important.

Most of the cloth hammers are launched by pressing the trigger. In almost all modern models, the trigger has a certain degree of sensitivity. this allows you to more subtly adjust the frequency of pneumatic pulmonary strokes by controlling the force with which the finger presses the trigger. In addition to air pressure, an important role is played by the diameter of the piston and the length of the trunk of the pneumatic young woman: the longer the trunk of the pneumatic cloth, the greater the work of the piston, respectively, the higher the force of the shock, but the lower frequency is lower than their frequency. The diameter of the piston is also important. the larger the diameter, the stronger the impact pulse.

Most often, hammers are classified precisely by the length of the barrel. If you have already had to choose a cloth hammer, you probably paid attention to the fact that in the model or article of the hammer there is usually a symbol of “x” in front of which a certain figure is underway. This is nothing more than a designation of the length of the cloth of the riveter hammer in inches, for example, in the article of the hammer AirPro RH-9504XK, the designation “4x” suggests that the length of the hammer trunk is 4 ″ inch (approximately 102 mm). The most extended diameters of the piston of riveted hammers are 1/2 ″ inch (12.5 mm) and 3/4 ″ inch (19 mm). Hammers with a piston diameter of 1/2 ″ inch designed for working with small rivets (usually up to 3/16 ”or 5 mm). The piston with a diameter of 3/4 ″ inch is more suitable for working with rivets with a diameter of more than 5 mm.

In addition to the cloth of the cloth, to install full.bodied rivets will need equipment. shock mandrels and end springs.

Shock mandrels for riveting hammer

By type of rivets, shock mandrels (they are also called a drummer or fight) can be carried out to two types. mandrels for rivets with a semicircular head and mandrels for rivets with a secret or flat head. Of course, there are special types of mandrels, for example, corner mandrels for installing rivets at an angle, but such things are rare and are used in special cases. Mandilies for rivets with a secret head or “nickle” are considered universal. it is suitable for rivets with a flat and secret head of any size. The choice of mandrels for installing rivets with a semicircular head should be approached more responsibly. for each diameter of the rivet, you will need a shock mandrel of the corresponding size and to obtain a high.quality connection, it is important to observe this order.

End springs for riveting hammer

The end springs, in turn, are used to hold the shock mandrel in the trunk of a cloth hammer. The springs are consumables, because over time they have the ability to stretch. think about this when ordering the tool. it makes sense to immediately take a spring in reserve. Two types of end springs are found. A straight spring has the shape of a cylinder and is universal. it serves to hold shock mandrels, both for rivets with a secret head, and for rivets with a semicircular head. The conical end spring has the shape of a cone and serves to hold the mandrels only for rivets with a semicircular head. The straight spring is slightly weaker and usually becomes unusable a little faster, so we recommend leaving it with secret rivets, especially since most often the supply of cloth pneumatic hammers includes springs of both types.

Manual rivets. what kind of tool, how to work for them.

Manual riveper. a tool designed to fasten sheet materials. Most often with rivets, sheets of metal up to 3 mm thick are fastened with rivets, however, you can attach a sheet of metal to a profile or corner. We have a bastard exhaust, the principle of its action is slightly different than riveting with ordinary rivets and a hammer. In this article, we will consider the main types of manual riveting tools, how to choose rivets and how to use this device.

First of all, it is necessary to drill a hole through both fastened sheets, through and through. The diameter of the hole should be in the diameter of the rivets. Then we “charge” the rivet and insert it through both sheets and begin to squeeze the handle (you need more than one clamp). The rivet begins to flatten when the ball is completely drawn into a rivet. the tail of the rivet is bitten off. As a result, we have 2 sheets of metal stained on both sides. In the photo below, you can see the instructions in the pictures.

They shot a video with a partner for you how to use a riveter. I hope it will help you understand how and what to do.

Take, for example, the cheapest option from Stayer is the very first photo. He supports him all the diameters of the rivets (2.4 mm, 3.2, 4 and 4.8 mm), so you can choose the diameter of the rivets most suitable for fastened materials.

For example, thin rivets with a diameter of 2.4 mm are designed to fasten sheet material with a total thickness of up to 5 mm. Of course, there is still such a parameter of exhaust rivets as length. The longer the rivet, the more thick material can be fastened.

I bring to your attention a table of the ratio of the size of the rivets and the thickness of the material.

It differs from the usual one in that the “head” of the rivet can rotate 360 ​​degrees. This helps a lot when working in hard.to.reach places, where you can’t crawl out ordinary. True and it costs more expensive, about 350. We also consider the model of the company Styer.

For people who work on the riveter constantly, they release power options.

Differ from ordinary ones in that they squeeze it with both hands, respectively, forces are significantly saved. Imagine that you need to stuck 500 rivets. It will be difficult to perform such a volume of work with ordinary rivets, and you can stab all more quickly and without tension. What does the reinforced look like in the photo below.

Professional models with an increased service life

In addition to household models, for homework, there are also professional. Differ from households with a better performance and an increased service life. For example, the model of Kraftool. An ordinary, non.rotational model, but costs noticeably more. In the photo below the bracket craftol.

All rivets have 4 interchangeable nozzles-stucros for different rivets diameters. They change using a special key, which also includes.

Rivets are usually sold in small packages, 50 pieces. Rivets differ in diameter and length, the thicker and longer a rivet. the more expensive the packaging costs. For example:

When buying consumables, do not forget that rivets are needed for a rivet, exhaust. Otherwise the stores are sold in stores, which are riveted with a hammer.

How to stuck exhausted metiz

The technology provides for installation not only in through, but also in deaf holes. To properly glue the metiz at home, a hand.headed riveter will be enough. The part is installed on the seat and pull the working rod with a special device. When extracting the edge of the rod, the sleeve bursts and forms a reliable connection. The note is installed with an exhaust rivet at home without a riveter is quite difficult.

Selection of rivets

Rivets are selected based on the thickness of the connected metals. Important at the same time: the parameters of the mortgage head, the diameter of the rod. The diameter of the rod determines the diameter of the drill, which is used to prepare the hole in the parts connected. You can approximately determine the diameter of the rivet, you can double the thickness of the parts connected. The length of the rod is at least 2 diameters of the rivet, and the protruding part should be at least 1.25-1.5 from the diameter.

In general, the diameter of the rivet rod can be from 1 mm to 36 mm, its length can be from 2 mm to 180 mm. over, the larger diameter is not equivalent to the greater strength of the connection. It plays the role of both the material from which it is made, and its type (hollow or solid). How to choose? According to the characteristics of rivets. After all, you choose them for the connection of certain materials of a certain thickness. You know approximately the load that will be attached to the connection. Therefore, when selecting, pay attention to what the manufacturer recommends.

How to choose a rivet according to the thickness of the fastened material? According to the instructions of the manufacturer, but in general, the diameter of the rod should be at least double the thickness of the materials

• Recommended diameter for connection. You just have to choose a drill and make an even hole without burrs.
• Minimum and maximum thickness of the connected package. It is important that your connection is in the specified range.
• The force for the cut. This is the load attached to the connection perpendicular, which the rivet withstands without destruction.
• Gap an effort. At what load along the rivet it will collapse.

It is the force to break and the cut that determines the strength of the future seam. The more these values, the greater loads can withstand.

Safety precautions with metal riveting

During the riveting of the metal, it is necessary to comply with the safety rules, which are as follows:

• Until a complete setting up of a pneumatic tool has been completed, it is impossible to use it, since it is quite difficult to hold compression with your hands due to the fact that the blow is powerful, you can easily get an injury.
• It is advisable to use dense headphones, since the process of riveting metal is accompanied by loud and sharp sounds, which adversely affect the ear and nervous system.
• Before starting work, the tool should be checked and verified that it is a working. There should be nothing superfluous (unnecessary items, devices) on the desktop).
• Details that must be connected should be fixed in the vice.

If you need to remove the old rivets and connect the parts in the same place again, then a semicircular head is removed with a sharp chisel, and the rest of the fastener is knocked out by a punch.

During the riveting of the metal, protective gloves and glasses should be used. To prevent the displacement of the part should be fixed in a vice or console. In no case should you touch the squeezing with your hands during work.

If you follow all safety regulations, the process will be performed efficiently and without injuries.

Thus, using the riveting of the metal, it is possible to obtain a connection that is highly resistant to vibration and shock loads.

And, despite the fact that at the present stage of technology development there are more productive methods such as welding or bolt mount, the method using rivets is great for home use.
