Due to the increasing demand for thermostable blind rivets in aerospace,nucle-ar industry and other industries,it is imperative to explore better thermostable materials for blind rivets,optimize parameters of blind riveting processes,upgrade riveting quality and joint performance,and realize the localization of thermostable blind rivets.Thermostable blind rivets have been studied with finite element simulation and tests.The article reviews the recent research progress of riveting and joint performance evaluation,the process of blind riveting,and the rivet quality as a function of different parameters.It also summarizes cur-rent shortcomings of thermostable blind rivets and predicts the research trend.
