Varrathegesztés

Varrathegesztés, also known as riveting, is a metalworking process used to join two or more metal pieces together. The process involves driving a rivet, which is a cylindrical pin, through holes in the metal pieces and then deforming the rivet head to secure the pieces in place. This method is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and repair work due to its strength and durability.

The riveting process typically involves the following steps: first, holes are drilled or punched into the metal pieces to be joined. A rivet is then inserted through these holes, and a riveting tool, such as a rivet gun or hammer, is used to drive the rivet through the holes and deform its head. The deformed head prevents the rivet from pulling through, thus securing the metal pieces together.

There are several types of riveting techniques, including solid riveting, blind riveting, and pop riveting. Solid riveting is the most common method, where the rivet is driven through both sides of the metal pieces. Blind riveting is used when access to one side of the metal is limited, and the rivet is driven through only one side. Pop riveting is a variation of blind riveting, where the rivet is driven through a hole and then expanded to secure the metal pieces.

Riveting is widely used in various industries due to its simplicity, strength, and reliability. It is particularly useful in applications where a strong, permanent joint is required, such as in aircraft construction, shipbuilding, and automotive manufacturing. The process can be performed using various tools and techniques, making it adaptable to different materials and project requirements.
