Unlike drilling, a punch pushes the metal through a hole and the slug exits below, which depending on the objective can be reused or discarded.<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-26\"><p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/en\/metal-industry-glossary\/#top\"><i class=\"fb-icon-element-13 fb-icon-element fontawesome-icon fa fa-arrow-up circle-no fusion-text-flow\" style=\"--awb-iconcolor:#f44336;--awb-iconcolor-hover:#f44336;--awb-font-size:32px;--awb-margin-right:16px;\"><\/i>To the top of the page<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"R\" class=\"fusion-container-anchor\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-16 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-19 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:25px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-15 fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#f40000;--awb-margin-top:20px;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>R<\/strong><\/h2><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-27\"><h3><strong><a id=\"rebar\"><\/a>Rebar (Reinforcing bar) (fr: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/glossaire-de-l-industrie-des-metaux\/termes-en-r\/#rebar\">Rebar &#8211; Barre d&#8217;armature<\/a>):<\/strong> Short for reinforcing bar, which is a steel rod meant for incorporation in concrete, thus reinforcing it.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"reclaimed-steel\"><\/a>Reclaimed Steel (fr: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/glossaire-de-l-industrie-des-metaux\/termes-en-a\/#acier-recupere\">Acier r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9<\/a><\/strong><strong>):<\/strong> Another term for recycled or second-hand steel.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"recycled-steel\"><\/a>Recycled Steel (fr: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/glossaire-de-l-industrie-des-metaux\/termes-en-a\/#acier-recycle\">Acier recycl\u00e9<\/a><\/strong><strong>):<\/strong> Referring to steel that has been reclaimed from scrap materials.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"rivet\"><\/a>Rivet (fr: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/glossaire-de-l-industrie-des-metaux\/termes-en-r\/#rivet\">Rivet<\/a>):<\/strong> A permanent fastening tool used in various forging processes. A rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft (called &#8211; the tail) with a head on one end. On installation, the rivet is placed in a drilled or punched hole, and the tail is deformed, so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, thus holding the rivet in place. Simply put, smashing the &#8220;tail&#8221; material flatter creates another head on the other end of the rivet, which results in a rivet that is roughly shaped like a dumbbell. The original head of the rivet is called &#8211; the factory head; the deformed end is called &#8211; the shop head or buck-tail. There are different types of rivets, some of them are: solid\/round head rivets, blind rivets, semi-tubular rivets, drive rivets, flush rivets and other.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"rod\"><\/a>Rod (fr: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acierlachine.com\/glossaire-de-l-industrie-des-metaux\/termes-en-t\/#tiges-d-acier\">Tige d\u2019acier<\/a>):<\/strong> Any rolled steel or steel with a circular cross-section can be considered a bar or a rod.
