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.
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 round head or "button head" rivet. Typically only used for solid rivets with such a head shape.
upset -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upsetting the rivet is to compress the rivet during the installation process. That can be done with a rivet gun to "hammer" the rivet against a bucking bar, or to use a rivet squeezer to compress the rivet.
A pop rivet, of course.
to use a pop rivet gun you have to get two pieces of metel and drill 2 holes into the metal
A Molly Rivet is much like a standard rivet except the shank on a molly rivet mushrooms out to grip a hollow wall. they still require the use of a rivet gun, they just have a much larger gripping area so as to not tear out of the hole they are installed into.
There are two kinds of rivet tool, the pneumatic rivet tool and the manual rivet tool. Press the trigger and push the metal into the rivet, then release the trigger so it is held in place. Push the head of the rivet through the holes in the metal then pull and release the handle consecutively until the pin pops.
Most types of manufacturing industries, such as chemical and car manufacturers, use blind rivet equipment. Blind rivet equipment is used in industries that make items where rivet joints can only be accessed from one side, such as plastic piping and some aircraft parts.
