Introduction to rivets:
A type of fastener consisting of a head and a nail rod, used to fasten and connect two parts (or components) with through holes, making them a whole. This type of connection is called rivet connection, abbreviated as riveting. Belonging to non detachable connections. Because in order to separate the two connected parts, it is necessary to break the rivets on the parts.
The difference between rivets and screws is:
1: Rivets connect two (or more) parts together by deforming themselves, usually by enlarging one end. After riveting, if you want to disassemble the parts, you must break the rivets.
2: Screws are threaded into the body of components to connect them. Therefore, to disassemble the components, simply unscrew the screws, which are not damaged and can be reused repeatedly.
Overall, screws are easy to adjust during use, while rivets are difficult to adjust.
Screws are movable fasteners, while rivets are fixed fasteners.
