Study Notes
Rivet Usage and Characteristics
- Blind rivets are used when access to only one end of the rivet is available.
- Flat head rivets are ideal for high tension environments.
- Mechanical locking rivets prevent center stem loss due to vibration in aircraft operations.
- Hi-Shear rivets require an interference fit for installation.
Rivet Selection and Measurement
- Rivet length is calculated as material depth plus 1.5 times the diameter.
- The bucking tail width of a rivet should be 1.5 times the diameter.
- AN rivets come in 1/16 inch increments for length and 1/32 inch increments for diameter.
- Countersunk rivet length is measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the shank, while the universal rivet is measured from the bottom of the head.
Rivet Styles and Properties
- AN 470 rivets feature a universal head; AN 426 rivets are countersunk.
- B rivets, made from 5057 aluminum and magnesium alloy, are used for magnesium riveting and corrosion prevention.
- E type rivets contain 7050 aluminum alloy, selected for applications requiring strength and weight savings.
- F type rivets are composed of stainless steel, suitable for high-temperature environments.
Special Rivet Types
- AD rivets have a single dimple and utilize the alloy 2117-T3.
- D and double D rivets, known as ice box rivets, are heat-treated and stored cold to maintain workability.
- D rivets can be reheated multiple times as necessary.
Installation and Removal Techniques
- Countersunk rivets need to protrude above the surface by .005 - .007 inches to ensure proper seating.
- To remove the locking collar of a Hi-Lock rivet, hold the shank with a hex key while loosening the collar with vice grips.
