FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Threaded rivets, commonly known as Rivnuts, are used to attach parts or components with screws to sheet metal. They provide a threaded insert in a metal surface where a screw or bolt can be securely fastened. This method allows for easy disassembly and reassembly of components, making it a practical choice for maintenance and repairs in aviation and other industries. The other options, such as welding two metal pieces together, drilling holes into metal, or using them for decoration purposes, do not accurately describe the common use of Threaded rivets (Rivnuts).
