Through the shape memory effect (SME), SMAs offer innovative solutions for joining components, mainly in the aeronautical and aerospace fields, indicating their promising applications. This research presents several characterizations, including differential scanning calorimetry, compression dilatometry, X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation, and thermomechanical testing, to assess the feasibility and performance of shape memory alloy rivets. In addition, the samples were subjected to recrystallization heat treatment to evaluate their reusability. The results demonstrated that shape memory alloy rivets are effective, achieving a maximum load of 340 N for two joined components. However, their application is optimal for materials with yield strengths lower than the stress-induced SME. Moreover, the process enhances the joined components\u2019 hardening and increases the rivet\u2019s thermal hysteresis. This research confirms the viability of shape memory alloys for riveting processes, offering a new avenue for advanced joining techniques. The findings provide a foundation for their further development and application in various industries requiring precise and reliable joining methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/act13110465","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,20]],"date-time":"2024-11-20T03:57:04Z","timestamp":1732075024000},"page":"465","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Potential of Shape Memory Alloys in Riveting Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2598-8601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edgar","family":"Camacho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISQ, Department of Research, Development, and Innovation, Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade, 2740-120 Porto Salvo, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7616-6793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Freitas Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARISE, CEMMPRE, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Coimbra, Rua Lu\u00eds Reis Santos, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3185-0019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Manuel","family":"Braz Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CENIMAT\/I3N, Department of Materials Science, NOVA School of Science and Technology, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1475","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1729603","article-title":"Effect of Low-Temperature Phase Changes on the Mechanical Properties of Alloys near Composition TiNi","volume":"34","author":"Buehler","year":"1963","journal-title":"J.
