A permanent fastening and joining element, the rivet is a cylindrical rod, usually made of metal, solid or hollow, with a ‘head’ at one end, i.e. a section with a larger diameter.
The other end is flattened and widened by crushing to secure the elements to be riveted together. This is riveting.

Choosing a rivet
Choosing a rivet
Four factors are needed to determine the choice of rivet:
- the material
- the diameter of the drilled hole (to determine the diameter of the rivet)
- the desired head shape
- the length of the rivet (determined by the thickness to be riveted and the shape of the counter-rivet)
