Application of Tungsten Alloy Rivet Top Rods in Aviation

Before discussing the application of tungsten alloy rivet top rods in aviation, let's find out what rivets are. Rivets are a type of connecting part and they have a wide range of uses. The earliest rivets in the history of human development were bone and wood. With the advancement of human civilization and the development of technology, metal rivets have also become popular. In addition to being used in industry, we can often see some fashion accessories and backpacks with rivets on the street, giving people a very punk and cool feeling. However, the area where the use of rivets is the most demanding is in the aviation field. Strictly speaking, rivets are not a very good connection material, and logically speaking, for each country, the aerospace field will be a leading field in domestic technology. Why do we still need rivets? Is it possible to use screws instead of rivets on aircraft?

The answer is no. The reason is that the tremor of the aircraft during the flight will cause the screws to fall off. This kind of consequence cannot be imagined. The use of rivets to fix aircraft structures and aluminum alloy skins has a long history. The development of advanced technology has not yet been able to replace manual riveting of rivets to fix the skin. The tungsten alloy rivet top bar is a metal base made of a tungsten alloy as a raw material for riveting rivets. The purpose is to reduce the influence of recoil force generated during the riveting process on the objects and to resist the huge force generated by hammering during riveting. Under the huge hammering force, if there is no high-density, high-strength material such as a tungsten alloy rivet rod as the base of the rivet, it will be difficult to ensure that the aircraft is not damaged. It can be seen that the application of tungsten alloy rivet top bar in aviation is just as important as the application of rivets in aviation. Together, these two work together to complete the manufacture of the aircraft and realize its own value.
