Under certain conditions, type A rivets are not used because of their
low strength characteristics
The sharpest bend that can be placed in a piece of metal without critically weakening the part is called the
minimum radius of' bend
Heat treated rivets D and DD series that are not driven within the prescribed time after heat treatment or removal from refrigeration
must be reheat treated before reuse
When bending metal, the material on the outside of the curve stretches while the material on the inside of the curve compresses. That part ofthe material which is not affected by either stress is the
neutral line
