A riveted joint with single rivet and a bolted connection with single bolt are perfect pin-joints. When number of rivets/ bolts along the axis of member increases, the degree of restriction to rotation gradually increases and becomes a rigid joint, which prevents rotation by offering moment reaction.

Riveting is the process of a joining to pieces of material (metal, cloth or other) by way of mechanical force using a riveter. Spot welding is the process of joining 2 or more pieces of metal by way of heating the metal to its melting point and fusing the material together at one given location or spot.
The difference between a pin joint and a hinge joint is the way they allow a linkage to move. With a pin joint, each part of the linkage can move at an angle that is relative to each part. With a hinge joint, one part of the linkage is fixed while the other can move freely.
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
The only difference between the two is that projection welding requires preparation of the joint members in the way of adding a preformed dimple or projection. Spot welding is used without such preparation to the joint members. it's just heat and pressure.
Mainly In spot welding & resistance welding two type welding machines are used :- 1. Air Cooled & 2. water Cooled.
A spot welding robot has generally 5 axis opposed to an arc welding robot that needs 6 axis. The controls and communication channels with the welding power supplies are configured differently as well.
