- Chapter 7: Aircraft Materials, Hardware, & Processes › Aircraft Metals › Self-Plugging Rivets (Mechanical Lock)
Also, the mechanical locking-type rivet stem breaks off flush with the head and usually does not require further stem trimming when properly installed. Self-plugging (mechanical lock) rivets display all the strength characteristics of solid shank rivets ... preload developed by the high stem break load, its proven fatigue strength makes it the only blind rivet interchangeable structurally with solid rivets. [Figure 7-44] Wiredraw CherryLOCK® Rivets There is a wide range of sizes, materials, and strength levels…
- Chapter 8: Cleaning & Corrosion Control › Corrosion of Aluminum & Aluminum Alloys
structural strength develops. At least three forms of attack on aluminum alloys are particularly serious: the penetrating pit-type corrosion through the walls of aluminum tubing, stress-corrosion cracking of materials under sustained stress, and intergranular corrosion, which is characteristic ... alloys. In general, corrosion of aluminum can be more effectively treated in place compared to corrosion occurring on other structural materials used in aircraft. Treatment includes the mechanical removal of as much of the corrosion products as practicable…
