This is because the shaft to bend and flare outwards as the mandrel needs to be drawn into the rivet. They have a structure of splits along with the hollow shaft and splits usually available in three sets. They are generally used in aerospace as an expanding bolt.
They are early forms of a blind rivet having a dome-shaped structure. They are mainly used for the external surfaces for providing a good appearance and to eliminate aerodynamic drag. They are also known as countersunk rivets as they use countersunk heads and countersunk hole. The end is inserted into the hole to flare by using the hammer. They have a short mandrel to protrudes from the head.
They can be applied very fast and can be used in aerospace, shipbuilding, and electronics. They are also known as hollow or pop rivets that are used where we can’t see the next side of the join. Generally, eight types of rivets are used as the joints: This joint is used in the boilers and pressure vessels to ensure both strength and leak proofness. They are generally used in reservoirs, containers, and tanks. They are used in providing strength and leak proof against low pressures. As they as used in strong structure so-known as strong joints. They are used in engineering structures such as beams, trusses, and machine frames. In this joint, rivets can be arranged as a single row, double or triple chain or zigzag. They may be of single strap or double strap butt joints that are according to the number of cover plates.
