A copper snap head rivet is a type of fastener used to join two or more materials together. It consists of a solid copper shaft with a rounded snap head on one end. The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and then the shaft is hammered or pressed to expand and secure the materials in place.
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.

The two pieces of aluminum are held together with a single rivet. Rivet here is a noun, as it is the name of a type of fastener. Rivet the two pieces of aluminum together. In this instance it is a verb, to rivet, the action of riveting.
You can start by riveting these two pieces of steel together
A rivet set is a tool used to seat the rivet while drawing the material to be joined together to eliminate any voids or spaces between the head of the rivet and the materials to be joined. Some rivet sets also have an indentation to assist in both initially deforming the rivet to "set it" and to assist in the final shaping, though in days of old the tool that was used for the final shape of a rivet was also sometimes referred to as a snap. But in another time a snap was what a round head rivet was called. This all, of course, was just to add a bit of generational confusion.
A blind rivet is a rivet that is linked to a joint that is connected to only one side of a device. They're generally manufactured using a device that makes small parts, like a CNC machine.
A rivet is a mechanical fastener used to, in many cases, hold a firearm together. They can be removed for cleaning or fixing of a gun.
Before use an ordinary rivet is just a short cylinder of metal. The two sheets to be joined are positioned as desired and then held together temporarily so that a hole can be bored through them slightly larger than the diameter of the rivet. The rivet is inserted so that part of it extends on each side of the two plates. Now these parts of the rivet can be simultaneously rounded over so that the two ends of the rivet make shapes like the cap of a mushroom on either side of the plates so that they can no longer be taken apart. The link shows several finished examples.
That depends on the material the rivet is made of. There are aluminum rivets, various grades of iron and steel rivets, and titanium rivets used in aircraft construction.
Many - most are associated with fragmentation of the rivet material. Burrs break off and cause eye damage, rivet guns incorrectly set cause hand / wrist injury, rivet holes enlarged which allow the pneumatic plunger to fire a rivet through
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.
A rivet designated AD, has a dimple on its head and it is made out of aluminum alloy known as 2117-T. The material number, in this case 2117-T, determines its strength.
