Manufacturing of Rivets

In fabrication, the rod is cut off, the end of the rod is inserted into the die defining the rivet, and then typically given an initial upset, followed by a final blow to form the head and tapered region between the head and shank of the rivet.ired length. This process is followed in all bolt, nut, and stud manufacturing processes. The hot forging process is applied for bolt and nut manufacturing.

Riveting is a forging process that may be used to join parts together by way of a metal part called a rivet. The rivet acts to join the parts through adjacent surfaces. A straight metal piece is connected through the parts. Then both ends are formed over the connection, joining the parts securely.
