Explanation:

Rivets are cylindrical rods having heads of various shapes. They are used for assembling the parts of a work-piece together.

There are following types of rivets:

Tinmen’s rivet	Flat head rivets of small sizes are called ‘Tinmen’s rivet’. It is used in light-sheet metalwork such as the manufacture of buckets, steel boxes, and air conditioning ducts.
Pan head rivet	It is used in heavy structural work where the strength of the rivet is very important.
Snap head or bottom head	It is the most commonly used form and gives a very strong joint.
Blind rivet	Blind rivets, commonly referred to as "pop" rivets are tubular and are supplied with a nail-like mandrel through the center which has a "necked" or weakened area near the head.
