3 - SOLID RIVET
3.1 - General
Defective solid rivets shall be removed by drilling in such a way that the hole and countersink are not
damaged.
The removal of installed solid rivets must be avoided if possible (ADET0078 to be consulted for the
acceptance criteria of riveting failures) to avoid to decrease by over-sizing the d/Φ
edge/diameter) and e/ Φ ratio (sheet thickness/diameter) and therefore to avoid parts deforming.
1° - The tolerance of the hole and countersink has to be in accordance with the ADET0078.
AND
2° - Little damage to bore (no visual grooves or cracks):
The installation of solid rivet initially specified in bore presenting no visual damage is possible only if the
bore presents neither grooves nor cracks.
There is no limitation in number of reworked bores when the two requirements above are met.
Automatic installation:
- If a solid rivet automatically installed has to be replaced, the tolerance for “automatic hole installation”
indicated in the ADET0078 has to be used, even if the solid rivet will be manually (or automatically) installed
for repair.
The tolerance for the bore is linked to the nominal application.
Manually installation:
- If a solid rivet manually installed has to be replaced, the tolerance for “manual hole installation” indicated
in the ADET0078 has to be used. The solid rivet will be manually installed.
The tolerance for the bore is linked to the nominal application.
In case of insufficient distance from edge, the design office has to be consulted.
- Solid rivets in 7050 aluminium class initially installed in automatic must be replaced by the same material
for repair whatever installation mode (manual or automatic), until the diameter 4,8mm and associated
oversize.
- Solid rivet in 2017A-T4 aluminum class (in delivery condition) initially installed in automatic or manual
must be replaced by the same material for repair whatever installation mode (manual or automatic), until
the diameter 4,8mm and associated oversize.
3.4 – Restriction
Solid rivet installation has to be stopped when causes of defects are not clearly identified.
- The maximum number of solid rivets installed with acceptable defects shall not exceed 5% of the
total solid rivets installed on the frame or on the assembled part (junction).
- Solid rivets installed with acceptable defects shall not be adjacent: a minimum of five solid rivets
free of defects shall separate two solid rivets with acceptable defects.
When the oversizing rules mentioned above lead to exceed the installation limits, solid rivets should be
replaced by bolts in accordance with table hereafter.
If these conditions are not respected, replace slugs with HI-LITE installed with high interference.
(Bolt EN6114K and EN6115K, nuts ASNA2528 or ASNA2529).
In the non-magnetic areas, it is not possible to use nickel-copper alloy (monel) solid rivets or steel bolts.
Consequently, titanium solid rivets must mandatory be replaced by titanium solid rivets.
For repairs of 4,8 mm diameter, use either 5,6 mm diameter titanium rivets or 5,2mm and 5,6mm diameter
CRES repair bolts. In this last case, see important note (§ 3 – Nut to be used).
4.1 - General
In case of material change between nominal and oversize, an agreement from Materials and Processes
and stress department is mandatory for restricted temperature range area (ex: pylon).
During switch over to over-sizes R1, R2 and R3, it is necessary to take into account the nut’s capacity to
absorb the increase in the bolt shank diameter. The condition differs according to the type of nut and bolt
initially foreseen.
1)The use of HI-LOK BULL-NOSE nuts and bolts systematically imposes using washers (see ADET0029).
2) For repair, lock-bolts systems shall be replaced by hi-lites with steel nuts in accordance with :
a. ADET0030 in term of nature of nuts,
b. ABD0078 in term of coatings.
3)For repair, taper lock and taper hi-lite systems shall be installed with ASNA2532 steel nuts.
Switch over to over-sizes does not affect the type of nut to be used or the thickness of the washers normally
foreseen.
In this case, it is necessary to take into account the counterbore diameter of the nut which can not absorb
the oversize bolt shank diameter.
Generally speaking, if the nut initially foreseen cannot be mounted, it is necessary to mount a nut with
identical material and finish.
The counterbore of nuts NAS1726, NAS1727, NSA5050, ASNA2531 and ASNA2532 does not
accommodate for oversize bolts R2 (Y) and R3 (Z); however, these nuts can be mounted on R2 (Y) and
R3 (Z) bolts using washer with 1,6 thickness 3,2 mm.
The Inconel nut ABS1831 accommodates the oversize bolt (X,Y) ABS1830.
Except otherwise specified (NAS1473 or 1474), the counterbore diameter of captive nuts is not compatible
with the oversize bolt shank diameter. In this case, it is necessary to choose a bolt length code number that
avoids all contact of the shank end with the nut seating.
In the case when finished bolt system is used, and for economical purposes, the Design Office tolerates
that only one length code number is supplied out of two; in this case, installation of an additional washer is
admitted. Its definition is as follows:
- Types: NSA5368 or NSA5372.
- Material, thickness: See ADET0029.
More generally, please refer to ADET0029 for the use of washers (requirement, material and thickness).
Blind bolts shall be generally repaired by next nominal diameter. However oversize exists see table 3.
The oversize bolt adjustment (clearance or interference) is the same as that of the nominal size bolt
provided in the plan; tolerances are given in NSA2012.
In the case of the blank system out, the finished bolt to be manufactured is that in the column adjacent
to the blank column in the tables hereafter.
Anti-corrosion installation conditions are those given in the definition documents of the areas under
consideration.
Tightening torques: see NSA2017, as per ADET0030, the oversize bolts shall be tightened with the
same tightening torque than the bolt indicated in Tables 3 and 4 in the column “Torque for oversize
same as”.
Production of bolts and nuts and threaded axes in our workshops as per ADET0034.
Inspection after installation: Refer ADET0059 and ABS1762 to identify the requirements.

- Precaution to be taken:
See important note in § 4.5.2.
5 - REPAIR BUSHINGS
5.1 – Bushings installed with tight fit (using press of liquid nitrogen)
These bushings, in most cases, flush on both surfaces (smooth bushings without shoulder) are intended to
protect the bores for removable parts.
They are in 35 NC6 (R = 112 to 123 hbars) or in the material of origin.
Examples:
- Bushings for mast shackles N 18
A-546 10071-204
A-546 10071-206
- Bushings for external fittings N 12 (mast)
A-546 10053-203
A-546 10053-204
- Bushings installed H 7 P 6 A-538.31.946 for gantry beam fitting installation.
5.2 – Over-sizing and “repair sizes” for bushings for bolts Ø 25,4
This applies to bushings equipping the shackles of the mast. Two solutions can be envisaged:
Over-sizing: - internal
external
2nd solution
Installation of bushings with external over-sizing and internal bore maintained at initial size.
While this repair type does not require any male oversized elements, on the other hand, it produces the
following difficulties:
- removal of a large diameter nitrogen shrunk-in bushing,
- H7 reboring of part,
- H6 or H7 reboring of the repair bushing after nitrogen shrink-in.
For first repair level only, and for each of these blanks, no concession.
These repair bushings are taken from blanks NSA3530.
Examples:
- Hinge bushing of Main Landing Gear
Plan No. A53831788A53831994
- LG drag strut attachment bushing
Plan No. A53831826
In the event of damage to the bore of these bushings, proceed to dismantling of these parts, either by
heating, or by impact, according to the grade of loc-tite used.
Four successive over-sizings are foreseen:
+ 0,2 + 0,4 + 0,6 + 0,8
Four repair levels and marking procedure acceptance, see the following paragraph, as well as for addition
of a stamp on the drawings.
These are used, for example, for hinges and control of movable elements.
These bushings must be considered removable, even when the fit on the external diameter is of H 7 k6
quality.
They are identified by one, two, three or four notches according to whether they are assigned to the first,
second, third or fourth repair level.
Identification of oversized bore bushings shall be made using two grooves in X shape.
These notches shall be underlined by a mark of black paint to make them easily seen.
The procedure will be carried out:
- for shoulder bushings, on the shoulder section.
- for smooth bushings, on the end section.
The different assemblies will be identified in a table giving acceptable repair levels with ring identification
and corresponding bore (see ASN-D0001-013).
