- Chapter 4: Aircraft Metal Structural Repair › Repairability of Sheet Metal Structure › Structural Support During Repair
Repairability of Sheet Metal Structure The following criteria can be used to help an aircraft technician decide upon the repairability of a sheet metal structure: • Type of damage. Figure 4-170. Repair of cracks by stop-drilling. Type of original ... material. Location of the damage. • Type of repair required. • Tools and equipment available to make the repair. The following methods, procedures, and materials are only typical and should not be used as the authority for a repair. Structural Support During…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Materials, Hardware, & Processes › Aircraft Metals › Self-Plugging Rivets (Mechanical Lock)
Self-Plugging Rivets (Mechanical Lock) Self-plugging (mechanical lock) rivets are like self-plugging (friction lock) rivets, except for the way the stem is retained in the rivet sleeve. This type of rivet has a positive mechanical locking collar ... resist vibrations that cause the friction lock rivets to loosen and possibly fall out. [Figure 7-43] Also, the mechanical locking-type rivet stem breaks off flush with the head and usually does not require further stem trimming when properly…

often inserted in locations where one head, usually the shop head, cannot be seen, they are called blind rivets or blind fasteners. Typically, the locking characteristics of a blind rivet are not as good as a driven rivet. Therefore, blind ... rivets are usually not used when driven rivets can be installed. Blind rivets shall not be used: 1. In fluid-tight areas. 2. On aircraft in air intake areas where rivet parts may be ingested by the engine…
