THE HISTORY OF RIVETING TECHNOLOGY The history of riveting technology In the beginning there were: man, his hammer and a rivet head maker (riveting die). Riveting as one of the oldest methods of connecting two components in an inseparable way is already known since early history. Riveted joints were produced by peening rivets over with a hammer. As industrialisation was on the rise, also presses or mechanical hammers for metal working were gaining ground but were soon replaced by specific riveting machines. The great amount of force to be exerted along with high noise levels on the one hand...

Riveting Technology and Assembly Systems A COMPARISON OF RIVETING METHODS Microsections of structures obtained by different riveting methods Riveting These microsections show the differences in structural conditions obtained by the different riveting methods for shaping the rivets. It is with the radial point riveting method only that the material structure remains unchanged to the greatest possible extent.
