Abstract
A non-blind rivet is disclosed that can be used to form a joint without the need for brazing, welding or threaded locknuts. The rivet 1 is placed in compression by opposing dies 15,20 causing a narrow region of the rivet wall to buckle forming a fold 24, the rivet thus being held to a workpiece 12 between a flange 6 and the fold 24.
