These characteristics directly influence how it should be marked, depending on the alloy and surface finish. Its lightness also increases the demand for fast markings adapted to industrial production lines.

All these advantages make aluminium a reliable and cost-effective material for industrial traceability when the marking technology is properly adapted to the application.

SIC Marking UK offers a complete range of aluminium engraving solutions — laser, dot peen and scribing — able to meet a wide variety of aluminium part configurations, from rough-cast surfaces to anodised aluminium housings.

The aluminium marking systems provided ensure permanent and readable markings, whether for 2D traceability codes, serial numbers or functional markings. Depending on the chosen marking technology, the marking can favour finesse and visual contrast or mechanical depth and resistance to surface treatments.
