Cold riveting strength of a standard rivet

I will make a rig for the crimping of a rivet:

It is a river R6-25 made of mild steel.

What effort should be made to make sure that the bottle is made correctly when cold?

Does anyone have a doc on the subject? or one on the net?

Hello Alain,

Very very good question, I'll look in my archives but all the ones I've assembled I've done the old-fashioned way, i.e. with a hammer.

 

Good luck and have a good day.

Hello

Even if you find a doc, it's still theoretical. You have to do live tests.  And when cold, you risk making cracks in the material, it's not going to be aesthetic!

Have a good weekend

Sorry @pierre.marie.ferry but I need a theoretical approach. I don't have the equipment to do tests. I need a satisfactory order of magnitude to correctly size the impact cylinder.

Look at the guns for solid rivet.
They indicate the pressure required according to the size of the rivet.

Hi Alain,

Check out what I found:

Hello

If it's for industrial riveting you can use suitable riveting machines: http://www.guillemin.net/fr-unite_de_rivetage.htm

or to be inspired by it, => thrust + rotation of the bottle.

I installed quite a few in the assembly of hardware stores.

Hoping to give you a lead...

Thank you all!

@fifounet44's answer gives me the best solution.

But everyone helped me a lot.
