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.
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.
An Airbus A380 has many different rivets and major aircraft components. The aircraft itself has Six-Million individual parts, Three-Million are rivets alone. An aircraft Millitary Spec for a rivet is MIL-STD-171. In aviation an individual rivet can cost anything from Fifteen pence to Twenty Five pence. So this means that; 0.20p x 3,000,000 = £600,000 This is a massive £600,000 spent on rivets alone.

Most commonly, aircraft parts are joined together with rivets, or nuts and bolts.
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.
Rivets are fasteners that hold materials together. Rivets are mainly used in metal construction ,and thousands of rivets are used in building aircraft. Rivets are a very safe and strong metal fastener.
Just drill the rivets out and use new rivets to hold the handle in place.
About a million and a half. As far as an exact number? They're bought in pounds, so not even Boeing knows. how many rivets used to construct the Boeing 747-100 series aircraft
