-the most common technique of joining sheets of aluminum is riveting.
- a rivet is any type of fastener that obtains its clamping action by having one of its ends mechanically upset.
- rivets create a union at least as strong as the material being joined.
- a well-designed rivet joint will subject the rivets to shear loads.
Rivets
the amount of force that is needed to cut a rivet into two
Shear Strength
the amount of force
that will cause the rivet to tear out from the metal

RIVET CODE
is the total thickness of the material held together by the rivet.
Grip Length
should be used three times the thickness of the thick sheet
