    Sealed rivet joint

    The specimens tested are double butt joints assembled with sealant on mating surfaces (sealant is a corrosion inhibitive). The Hi-Loks are with aluminium collars installed with clearance . Fatigue test (with sinusoidal loads, R=0.1) shown a terrible behaviour of sealed specimens. The sealant...

    Sealed rivet joint

    I'm studying the fatigue behaviour of sealed rivet joint. I’m using Aluminium 7xxx, polysulfide sealant and Hi-Lok rivets. Maybe somebody can explain what is the surface treatment prior to seal the rivet joint? What is the fatigue behaviour of sealed rivet joint?

    Hi-Lite interference

    Maybe somebody can explain why can we install Hi-lite with higher interference compared to Hi-lok?
