Re: Blind pop rivet tensile strength
With respect to rivet material, I was reading somewhere that said you should choose the same material of rivet as the material you are fastening, e.g. aluminum rivets for aluminum plates.
I can understand wanting thermal expansion properties to be the same for construction of long-term, permanent structures like vehicles. But does this apply for FRC robot construction? In other words - why wouldn't I always use, say, steel rivets, for strength?
