Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets. A rivet is a small metal cylinder, rounded on one end and blunt on the other end. After a hot rivet is inserted into a hole joining the two plates, its blunt end is rounded with a hammer, which is made easier by the hotness of the rivet. How does the hotness of the rivet also help to make a tight fit when it cools?
