There are two reasons rivets are heated to red hot temperature during riveting: to soften the metal so that the head on the opposite side can be formed by hammering the metal, and to make the rivet longer while the head is being formed so that as it cools the rivet will shorten and pull the riveted metal plates tightly together.

Why metal rivets used in construction work red hot when they are hammered in place?
The rivets are heated to red hot so that they are more pliable (softer). When placed in the holes bored for them hydraulic hammers are used on both sides of the rivet to hammer then against the surface they are to hold. When they cool down they contract pulling the surfaces of the metal together even tighter.
What is the metal piece that fasten the handle to the tang?
Rivets
How do you join two side of aluminum?
Depends what you're making... You could bend the edges and use a pop-rivet. You could use a fastener like a bolt or screw, best to use similar materials though, ie aluminum pop rivets or fasteners. Check your galvanic corrosion chart, you may be able to use stainless steel bolts/rivets etc.

What was the rivets on Titanic?
Harland Wolff archived records state that over 3 million rivets were needed to build the Titanic. A shortage of high quality rivets lead to inferior quality metal rivets being used. Unskilled labourers were employed as riveters to increase productivity but their work was below the required standard and combined with the inferior rivets there was a recipe for disaster as the hull plate joints were nowhere near as strong as they were intended to be and this is considered by experts to be a major contributing factor to the liners demise after hitting the iceberg.
Some small aluminium rivets of total mass 170g and 100 degrees are poured into a hole in a large block of ice at 0 degrees all the ice does not melt what is the final temperature of the rivets?
As all the ice does not melt then the temperature must be 0'C (assuming uniform temperature of the block and that the rivets remain in thermal contact with the remaining ice.)
What is pop riveting?
Pop riveting is a technique used to join together two pieces of metal or plastic with rivets. A hole is drilled through both pieces of metal, and the rivet is passed through both holes. Rivet pliers are placed onto the pin, and the handles are pulled together, pulling the pin head into the rivet. The pin breaks off, leaving the rivet attached firmly in place.
What did a heater boy do?
the heater boy heated the rivets until they reached a certain colour before passing them to the catcher who then placed them for the rivetter to finish
Was the the Eiffel Tower welded or screwed?
Neither, it was riveted together. Initially the pieces were assembled in the factory using bolts, and then were replaced one by one with heated rivets, which contracted during cooling creating a very tight fit. Only a third of the 2,500,000 rivets used in the construction of the Tower were inserted directly on site as preassembled and riveted pieces were built off site.
What were the rivets on the Titanic made out of?
The rivets in the titanic were made of iron.
How many rivets hold the Eiffel Tower together?
the Eiffel tower has 2.5 million rivets or 2500000 rivets
How many rivets were broken on the Titanic?
25000 rivets were rotten on titanic
