Before talking about tungsten bucking bar’s application in aviation, now let us first know some about rivet. So what is rivet? Rivet is a connecting component, which has a wide range of uses. Rivet earliest shown in the development of human history was made of the bone and wood, and with the development of human civilization and progress of technology, metal rivets are becoming more common. In addition to industry, we often can see some fashion clothing, backpacks etc. added rivets elements on them in the street, giving us a very handsome punk and cool feeling. But for most of the demand for the use of rivets and field is the field of aviation. Strictly speaking, the rivet is not a very suitable connective material, and logically speaking, for each country, the aviation sector would be very the domestic technology leader in the field, but why we need to use rivet? Would screw be possible to replace rivet to be used in aircraft?

 

The answer is no. The reason is that the screws will be stripped caused by tremors when aircraft fights in air, the consequences can not imagine. Using rivet to secure the aircraft structure and aluminum skin has a very long history, advanced technology developed so far is still not able to replace the work of manual hammering rivets to secure the skin. Tungsten bucking bar is manufactured of tungsten alloy and used as the base of metal rivet, aiming to reduce the impact of the object caused by post-recoil generated in the riveting process and to resist the enormous power generated by riveting hammer. In the huge hammering force, if there is no base with high density, high anti-hammer like tungsten alloy, it will be difficult to ensure that the aircraft is not damaged. Thus, the tungsten bucking bar’s application in aviation, is as important as the rivet used in aviation field. Both of them function together with the completion of the manufacture of aircraft, and realize their own value.
