What does a riveter do?

The so-called riveting is a manufacturing process for manufacturing plates, profiles, wires and pipes. Steel structure is made by welding, riveting, bolt connection and other processing methods. Riveting is the commander-in-chief of metal component construction. According to the processing technology, it can be divided into lofting, marking, blanking, forming, making, correction and installation.

On July 2, 2020, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released the ranking of 100 jobs in the second quarter of 2020. The shortage of jobs related to traditional manufacturing industries such as metal heat treatment workers, foundry workers, tool assemblers, stamping workers and riveting workers has increased.

Riveting workers in China are one of the indispensable main forces in China's industrial construction. All industrial equipment shells, frames, supports, pipes, steel structures, containers, storage tanks, bridges, ships, vehicles, aviation, aerospace, etc. Are inseparable from the riveter. The level of riveting workers in a country can measure the industrial level of this country. China riveters have leapt from the traditional lofting and advanced calculation to the automatic development, blanking and typesetting of CAD in the computer age. This marks that China riveters have entered a brand-new era, which will accelerate the pace of industrial construction in China.

Riveting workers can also be called cold working sheet metal workers.
