It is known as dissimilar metals corrosion. Whichever metal is softer will tend to corrode more quickly than the harder metal. All metals corrode because nature is trying to return the metal to it's natural state. As the slave metal corrodes it actually produces some electricity. In fact that is exactly how a battery works. The reaction of the cathode to the anode causes a measured amount of electical activity. Also, on ships the paint they use has small metal particles in it to draw the corrosion to themselves rather than the ships hull. Everything is always trying to return to its lowest origin and corrosion is the way metal does it.
To install a semi-tubular rivet, you will need a rivet gun, a backing plate, and the rivet itself. Place the rivet through the pre-drilled holes in your workpieces, align the backing plate on the opposite side, and then use the rivet gun to compress the rivet until it creates a secure connection. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific rivet and tool you are using.
Yes, rusting is a specific type of corrosion that occurs on iron and its alloys when they are exposed to oxygen and moisture. This process creates iron oxide, commonly known as rust, which weakens the material over time.
Dry corrosion, also known as atmospheric corrosion, occurs when metal is exposed to oxygen in the air without the presence of moisture. This process can result in the formation of oxide layers on the metal surface, leading to rusting or degradation. For example, iron exposed to dry air can form iron oxide (rust) over time, weakening the metal and affecting its structural integrity.
Yes, the anvil on a pop rivet is a standard component. It is used to support the rivet while it is being compressed and form a secure joint.
To produce a good hot rivet joint, first make sure the rivet and the parts to be joined are clean. Heat the rivet until it glows, then quickly insert it into the pre-drilled holes in the parts to be joined. Use a pneumatic riveting hammer to upset the tail of the rivet, creating a secure joint.
corrosion
occurs when iron combines with oxygen in the air
No. Rust (iron oxide) only occurs in metals containing iron. A couple examples of different types of corrosion are galvanic corrosion and chloride pitting corrosion.

I assume the rivet you are asking about is a "tinners" rivet and not a more common "blind" rivet (commonly known as a "pop" rivet). If this the case the tool you want is called a "rivet set".
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 rivet gun is a gun
A DD rivet is recognised by 2 dashes on the head of the rivet
Depends on the type of rivet but most can be removed by drilling off the head with a larger size drill bit then pushing the rivet the rest of the way out. You will then need a rivet gun and appropiate size rivet to replace it.

Rust? It's oxidation. More likely to occur with moisture present.
