Why are metal rivets used in construction work red hot when they are hammered into 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.

The metal rivets used in construction work are red hot when they are hammered into place. When they cool, they contract, pulling the two pieces of metal tightly together.

Oxidation takes place at the anode and reduction takes place at the cathode, so elemental metal will form at the cathode, and elemental metal will form into ions at the anode.

What is cabinet metal used for?
Metal cabinets have many uses. They can be used as lockers at school, to store work supplies and documents at one's place of work, and for extra storage at home.
Example of malleability?
It means the ability for a metal to bend without breaking. An example is when a smith makes a sword. The smith hammers the sword to bend the metal into place.

Is malleability a or physical property?
It's a physical property. Consider the metal gold. It is wonderfully malleable. It has been hammered into gold leaf for centuries. The gold leaf is not chemically different from the metal that began the process. No chemical changes take place when it is hammered into those extremely thin bits of foil. The elements molecular composition is not changed by the act of bending, warping, "folding, spindling, or mutilating". Gold (Au) is quite malleable and soft Lead (Pb) is quite malleable and soft Diamonds (C) are not malleable nor soft
