Rivet made of metal, rubber or plastics, whose axially hollow cylindrical shank (1) comprises a minimum-thickness portion (8) capable of being deformed by male threaded means (50, 60) being screwed into a corresponding portion of the cavity, and a portion (6) which is comprised between the head (2) and said deformable portion (8) and has a length (LA) that is greater than the local thickness (T2) of at least one (20) of the parts (10, 20) to be joined together. The invention also covers the method for the utilization of the rivet. USE: Manufacturing of end products made up of parts made of materials undergoing different extents of thermal expansion when operating in ambients at elevated temperatures. ADVANTAGES: The play that remains between at least some of the parts to be assembled, thanks to them being joined together by means of the rivet, allows for a greater utilization flexibility and/or different processing or machining tolerances for the single parts. <IMAGE> |
