RIVETS
A Fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before it is installed it consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite the head is called the buck-tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or predrilled hole. Then the tail is "upset" (i.e. deformed) so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter and holds the rivet in place. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.
RIVETS
The rivet is placed in a pre-drilled hole and is set by pulling the mandrel head into the rivet body, expanding the rivet body and causing it to flare against the reverse side
Flush rivet A flush rivet is used primarily on external metal surfaces where good appearance and the elimination of unnecessary aerodynamic drag are important. A flush rivet takes advantage of a countersink hole, they are also commonly referred to as countersunk rivets. Countersunk or flush rivets are used extensively on the exterior of aircraft for aerodynamic reasons. Additional post-installation machining may be performed to perfect the airflow.

1. RIVET LENGTH The formula for determining rivet length is as follows (1 + 1 / 2) x D + G =L Where : D = the rivet diameter, G = the grip (total thickness of material), and L = the total length of the rivet. 2. RIVET SPACING & EDGE DISTANCE Rivet spacing, also referred as rivet pitch, is the distance between the rivets in the same row, and is measured from the rivet center to the rivet center. Transverse pitch is the distance between the rows of rivets, and is measured from the rivet center to rivet center. Edge distance is the distance from the center of the rivet to the edge of the material being riveted. There are no specific rules that apply to every case or type of riveting. There are, however, certain general rules that should be followed. a) RIVET SPACING Rivet spacing (pitch) depends upon several factors, principally the thickness of the sheet, the diameter of the rivets, and the manner in which the sheet will be stressed. Rivet spacing should never be less than three times the rivet diameter. Spacing is seldom less than four times the diameter nor more than eight times the diameter.

b) TRANSVERSE PITCH When two or more rows of rivets are used in a repair job, the rivets should be staggered to obtain maximum strength. The distance between the rows of rivets is called transverse pitch. Transverse pitch is normally 75 percent of existing rivet pitch, but should never be less than 2 1/2 times the diameter. c) EDGE DISTANCE The edge distance for all rivets, except those with a flush head, should not be less than twice the diameter of the rivet shank nor more than four times the diameter of the rivet shank. Flush-head rivets require an edge distance of at least 2 1/2 times the diameter. If rivets are placed to close to the edge of the sheet, the sheet is apt to crack or pull away from the rivets. If they are placed too far away from the edge, the sheet is apt to turn up at the edge.
NOTE : On most repairs, the general practice is to use the same rivet spacing and edge
distance that the manufacturer used in the surrounding area, or the structural repair manual for the particular aircraft may be consulted. Figure in below slides shows edge distance, rivet spacing ,Rivet spacing and edge distance.

STRUCTURAL SCREWS Structural screws are used for assembling structural parts. They are made of alloy steel and are heat treated. Structural screws have a definite grip length and the same shear and tensile strengths as the equivalent size bolt.

The Camloc high-stress panel fastener, is a highstrength, quick-release rotary fastener, and may be used on flat or curved inside or outside accessible panels. The fastener may have either a flush or protruding stud. The studs are held in the panel with flat or cone-shaped washersthe latter being used with flush fasteners in dimpled holes. This fastener may be distinguished from screws by the deep No. 2 Phillips recess in the stud head and by the bushing in which the stud is installed. Ex : For lighting mechanism.

HI LOKS
The last commonly used high strength structural steel rivet
Hi-Lok Fasteners The hi-lok fastener, shown in figure 2-7, combines the features of a rivet and a bolt and is used for high-strength, interference-free fit of primary structures. The hi-lok fastener consists of a threaded pin and threaded locking collar.

CAM LOCS
A cam-lock fitting comprising a body having a flow path there through, the flow path having a first opening and a second opening, wherein a) the second opening is provided by a boss having a proximal end. b) the external surface of the proximal end has a pair of opposed grooves for accepting the cams of a cam-lock fitting. c) the transverse cross-section of the external surface of the distal end of the boss is substantially circular.

TURN BUCKLES
Turnbuckles are used in rigging to join wire-rope or cable to an anchor point or other length of wire. They have a screw thread for precise length and tension adjustment. Most turnbuckles are forged or cast from stainless steel or low carbon steel. They are machined to product specifications and then quenched, tempered, plated with zinc, or hot-galvanized.
Turnbuckles are made of aluminum, brass & bronze, stainless steel & steel.

GROMMET
GROMMET If metal or another hard material has a hole made in it, the hole may have sharp edges. Electrical wires, cord, rope, lacings, or other soft vulnerable material passing through the hole can become abraded or cut, or electrical insulation may break due to repeated flexing at the exit point. Rubber, plastic or plastic coated metal grommets are each used to avoid this. The smooth and sometimes soft inner surface of the grommet shields the wire from damage. Most common usage is to strengthen the holes for boot lacing.

WASHERS Washers such as ball socket and seat washers, taper pin washers, and washers for internal-wrenching nuts and bolts have been designed for special applications. Split washer Wave washer
SPLIT PINS Cotter pins are used to secure bolts, screws, nuts, and pins. Some cotter pins are made of low-carbon steel, while others consist of stainless steel and are more resistant to corrosion. Also, stainless steel cotter pins may be used in locations where nonmagnetic material is required. Regardless of shape or material, all cotter pins are used for the same general purpose safetying.
