1.) What is blind rivet - an introduction
A blind rivet consists of two parts:
a. The rivet body, also referred to as the rivet s sleeve, and within itb. the setting device, the mandrel (sometimes called the nail or rivet pin)
The rivet body is normally manufactured from one of three methods!
a. from wire, the most common method
b. from tube, common in longer lengths, not normally as strong as wire drawn
c. from sheet, least popular and generally the weakest option.
Blind rivets are particularly used when access to the joint is only available from one side.
The rivet is placed in a pre-drlled hole and iset by puling the mandrel head into the rivet body, expanding the body and causing it to flare against the reverse side. As the head othe mandrel reaches the face of the blind side eet meal material, the puling force is resisted, and at a predetermined force. the mandrel wil snaat the break point of the mandrel. A tight joint formed by the rivet body remains, the head of the mandrel remains encapsulated at theblind side, although variations of this are available, and the mandrel stem is ejected.
