The clip is known as the material used to fasten or fasten anything. It is one of the products needed to perform the fastening action. In the automotive sector, clips are a fastener used to fix parts of your vehicle made of plastic and metal materials to the main body. The main types of clips are design clips, hood clips, sill clips, lath clips, floor clips, window clips, shutter clips, and bumper clips.
Rivets are fastening tools used to join two or more materials. Even relatively large parts can be easily joined with rivets, as the parts to be joined do not need to have threads. The main feature of the rivet is that it does not have to reach the back side of the piece to be joined. Even if the rivet does not match the back, the joining process can occur. For this reason, rivets are also known as 'blind rivets.'
Rivets are available in various raw material types, sizes, head types, and coating options. Rivets are divided into classes according to their use and structure. To list them we can list them as pop rivets, rivets with nuts, sealed rivets, forged rivets, and heavy-duty rivets.
Pop Rivets : Consists of two parts, the head, and the nail. It is used to join two or more parts. Rivet diameter and length may vary depending on the desired strength, tensile and breaking forces, and the total thickness of the parts to be joined. Manual and air riveting machines are used in practice. According to the pop rivet structure, there are varieties such as camber head, broad head, and countersunk head. Curved head pop rivets are a type of pop rivet used for joining materials in many industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, furniture, and lighting. The characteristic of countersunk pop rivets is that the rivet body is countersunk. These rivets are used by drilling holes into the surface. It is used in many sectors, such as the defense industry, ventilation, furniture, electronics, and elevators. Wide-head pop rivets are used for joining sensitive materials that are more likely to break, such as plastic. It is used in sectors such as natural gas, heating, and furniture.
It is used for the non-removable joining of machine elements such as machine parts, sheet metal, belts, and lining. The rivet is not a removable part. Once installed, it cannot be disassembled. The process of assembling the pieces with elements called rivets in a non-detachable way is called riveting.
Vehicle plugs are the assets on the engine block and cylinder head. Engine cover plugs are also known as freeze plugs, frost plugs or engine block expansion plugs. The plug closes the sand-casting extraction holes found in water-cooled internal combustion engines. In short, the main task of the plug is to discharge the cooling water, which starts to freeze and expands out of the machine. The plug is firmly attached to its position. It is not screwed. In case of freezing, it must be checked whether the plug is in place after thawing.
