2. BRIEF REVIEW ON FASTENING
METHODS
1. Temporary (Bolts, Nuts, Screws and nuts, keys,
cotters)
2. Permanent
• Soldering
• Brazing
• Welding
• Riveting

3. • Welding uses steel rod, which is melted into the joints
or voids (strongest)
• Brazing is similar to soldering, except higher melting
point material is used, and it's stronger than
but not as strong as welding.
• Soldering is similar, except a low temperature melting
point lead//tin alloy is used. Weakest of the three.
there is silver solder, somewhat stronger.

9. USEFUL EMPIRICAL GENERAL
PROPORTIONS
1. Rivet diameter d = 1.2 under root (t)
2. The distance between center of the rivet hole to the
nearest edge of the plate is 1 ½ d
3. Maximum pitch = 3d, minimum = d + 1 1/8 in
4. Perpendicular distance between rows of rivets
• Chain riveting 2d + ¼ in.
• Zigzig 2d
