Secondary Metal Operations
for Final Processing & Assembly

Secondary metal operations include specialised final processing and assembly tasks that complete a metal part before delivery. At Axinar, in Thessaloniki, we perform secondary metal operations in-house: rivet installation (blind rivets, threaded rivets), stud welding (stud welding / CD welding), laser marking of metals (fiber laser marking), rivet nuts and threaded inserts (helicoil).

Custom secondary operations are integrated into our production line, after laser cutting, press brake bending, welding, and before coating or galvanizing. This means that every part is delivered fully completed, with rivets, studs, threads and marking, without the need for an external subcontractor. Every secondary operation is performed with traceability and quality documentation.

Secondary metal operations, rivet installation and stud welding on metal parts, Axinar Thessaloniki

We process steel, stainless steel (inox), aluminium, galvanised steel, copper and brass. Combined with laser cutting, MIG/TIG welding, CNC milling and powder coating, we handle complete metal structures from design to final assembly.

Cost of secondary operations: The price of secondary metal operations depends on the type of operation (rivets, stud welding, laser marking), the number of points per part, the material, the geometry and the total order volume. For series production, the cost of secondary operations per part decreases significantly. Send us your drawings for a free, detailed quote within 24 hours.

Our Secondary Metal Operations

Rivet Installation (Blind Rivets)

Rivet installation, blind rivets, threaded rivets and metal rivets in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised steel. Permanent mechanical connection without heat, ideal for thin sheets, profiles and structures that do not allow welding.

  • Blind rivets (pop rivets), M3 to M8
  • Threaded rivets, steel, stainless steel, aluminium
  • Application on sheet thickness 0.5mm – 6mm

Stud Welding (CD Welding)

Stud welding with the CD welding method (capacitor discharge). Studs, nuts and pins are welded one-shot to thin metals without deformation or discolouration. Ideal for electrical grounding, mechanical components and metal structures.

  • CD welding (capacitor discharge), M3 to M10
  • Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel
  • Minimum base thickness: 0.5mm

Laser Marking of Metals (Fiber Laser Marking)

Laser marking of metals (laser engraving) with fiber laser marking. Permanent marking of logos, serial numbers, QR codes, barcodes and technical data on any metal surface. Laser logo marking ensures traceability and branding on industrial parts.

  • Fiber laser marking, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper
  • Laser logo, serial number, QR code, barcode marking
  • Permanent marking, withstands coating, galvanizing, abrasion

Rivet Nuts & Helicoil Threaded Inserts

Rivet nuts and threaded inserts (helicoil), creating a permanent internal thread in thin sheet metal and parts where there is not enough material thickness for a classic thread. Ideal for final assembly and easy disassembly.

  • Rivet nuts, M3 to M12, steel / stainless steel / aluminium
  • Helicoil (threaded inserts), thread repair & reinforcement
  • Minimum sheet thickness: 0.5mm

    FAQ, Secondary Metal Operations

    What are secondary metal operations?
    Secondary metal operations are specialised final processing and assembly tasks that complete a metal part. They include rivet installation (blind rivets, threaded rivets), stud welding (CD welding), laser marking of metals (fiber laser marking), rivet nuts and threaded inserts (helicoil). At Axinar we perform secondary metal operations in-house in Thessaloniki.
    What types of rivets do you install?
    We install blind rivets (pop rivets), threaded rivets and metal rivets in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised steel. Rivet installation is done with precision pneumatic tools, in sizes M3 to M8, on sheet thickness 0.5mm – 6mm.
    How does stud welding work?
    Stud welding (CD welding / capacitor discharge) welds studs, nuts and pins one-shot to thin metal sheets. The method uses an instantaneous electric arc, with no thermal distortion or discolouration on the back side. Ideal for steel, stainless steel and aluminium from 0.5mm thickness.
    What can be laser-marked on metal?
    Laser marking of metals (fiber laser marking / laser engraving) can mark logos, serial numbers, QR codes, barcodes, technical data and batch numbers on any metal surface. The marking is permanent and withstands coating, galvanizing, abrasion and chemicals. Laser logo marking on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper.
    What are rivet nuts and helicoils?
    Rivet nuts are threaded inserts installed in thin sheet metal to create a permanent internal thread without access to the back side. Helicoils (threaded inserts) are helical inserts that repair or reinforce damaged threads. Both are used in secondary metal operations for final assembly.
    How much do secondary metal operations cost?
    The cost of secondary operations depends on the type of operation (metal rivets, stud welding, laser marking of metals, rivet nuts, helicoil), the number of points per part, the material, the geometry and the total volume. For series production, the price of secondary operations per part decreases significantly. Secondary operations Thessaloniki — send us a drawing for a free quote within 24 hours.
    Do you do only secondary operations or full manufacturing as well?
    Both. We take on standalone secondary metal operations (e.g. rivet installation only or laser marking only) but also complete metal structures: laser cutting, press brake bending, roll bending, CNC, welding, secondary operations, coating, galvanizing — all in-house in Thessaloniki.
