class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-tag\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"section-title\">FAQ, <strong>Secondary Metal Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n    <div class=\"faq-list\">\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">What are secondary metal operations?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">What types of rivets do you install?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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 &ndash; 6mm.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">How does stud welding work?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">What can be laser-marked on metal?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">What are rivet nuts and helicoils?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">How much do secondary metal operations cost?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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 &mdash; send us a drawing for a free quote within 24 hours.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\" style=\"width:100%;background:none;border:none;text-align:left;cursor:pointer;\">Do you do only secondary operations or full manufacturing as well?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">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 &mdash; all in-house in Thessaloniki.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- INTERNAL LINKS -->\n<section
