A workpiece having a bore, and a counterbore which is frusto-conical and tapers forwardly between a side of the workpiece and the bore, and toward the bore, a metallic rivet having an axially extending shank received in the workpiece bore and defining an axis; the rivet including a head having an end face and a forwardly tapered frusto-conical section located forwardly of the end face; the periphery of the head end face being substantially flush with the work surface, the end face forming a dome protruding axially in a rearward direction, the dome being generally ring-shaped and extending about the axis in substantially axial alignment with the outer surface of the shank; the rivet head having a peripheral side wall spaced radially from a side wall defined by the workpiece counterbore, and the space between the side walls having a volume A; the dome having a metallic volume B; and wherein the volume B exceeds volume A, such that when the dome is flattened during rivet deformation, the rivet head side wall is radially expanded into volume A and pushes outwardly against the workpiece counterbore side wall to deform the latter radially outwardly; and the radio B/A being within the range 1.20:1 and 70:1. |
