1) Riveting

Riveting is a method for joining parts by drilling holes in two sheet-shaped parts, inserting rivets thinner than the hole diameters, and crushing the rivet tips.

Description: An SUS head-mount rivet is inserted into an aluminum arm hole formed in a concave/convex shape and is quickly swaged by passing a steel ball through the rivet hole.
