Part number 1010799 is a rivet, an important component in several applications across industries. A rivet comes under the family of mechanical fasteners and it is a permanent one. Rivet’s construction comprises a cylindrical body with a rounded head at one end. How a rivet operates:- when it is placed in a punched or drilled hole, the tail is made to expand to 1.5 times its original size, by deformation. Thus with a ‘head’ on both sides, the installed rivet becomes a fastener and can support tension loads. There are different varieties of rivets used in industry, depending on the nature of use.

Most common applications of the rivet include riveting components together in automobile chassis, in construction of metal bridges and similar constructions. Before welding and bolted joints were developed, structures such as the Sydney Harbor Bridge and Eiffel Tower were held together by riveting. More commonly rivets are used to reinforce jeans. So part number 1010799 is a component that ‘touches’ your life in more ways than you could have imagined.
