Peening a rivet involves deforming the metal at the end of the rivet to create a secure joint. This is typically done by striking the end of the rivet with a hammer or a specialized peening tool, causing the metal to spread and form a tight seal against the material being joined. The process ensures that the rivet remains in place and enhances the overall strength of the connection. Proper technique requires even pressure and control to avoid damaging the rivet or surrounding materials.
