I cannot tell you much about small rivets because am mainly aquainted with very large ones used in older ship construction.The purpose of using rivets heated red hot is two fold.First it allows the ease of flatening the small end of the rivet.Second it produces a very tight match up of parts being joined due to shrinkage of the rivet as it cools.This was a necessity in ship construction or other structural steel work.
