The parameters of heating and cooling of rivets made of steel and aluminum alloy, as well as data of fi lling holes with these rivets
during hot and cold riveting are compared. The features of the process of performing cold impact riveting by direct and reverse methods,
as well as the possibility of reducing the force of this riveting by improving the closing heads and constructive transformation of
the rivets themselves are considered. Features of physiological infl uence of cold shock riveting on hands, elbows and shoulders of
workers are determined. Describes the construction of riveting hammers and supports with spring shock absorbers that prevent the
disease of workers vibration disease, portable riveting presses of pneumatic and hydraulic action. A description of the press equipment
and technology of bolt-riveting connections, allowing mechanizing the process of cold riveting is given.
