self stress relief?
(OP)
hey guys,
i am new to this so i will try to be brief. the company that i work for has a product that is assembled with a hot riveting method. all sides get this treatment. we measure the product before, during and after this method to ensure a very tight fit. however, about 3 days after the final inspection we find that the areas that are being riveted have moved sometimes .005 to .020 out of tolerance. what would cause this to happen after such a period of time without them being touched?
