Audit-Proof Your Traceability
Stop relying on marks that fade. Ensure your components remain compliant from day one through overhaul with industrial laser solutions engineered for the aerospace lifecycle.
Why Permanent Marking Fails Audits
In aerospace, “permanent” doesn’t mean visible at shipment.
It means legible for decades. Yet many parts enter service marked with ink, labels, or mechanical methods that were never designed to survive an aerospace lifecycle: heat exposure, chemical cleaning, surface treatments, and overhaul.
The result shows up during audits. An AS9100 or customer audit doesn’t focus on how the part was marked. It focuses on whether traceability can still be verified at the time of inspection. When serial numbers fade, labels peel, or dot peen marks soften after finishing or wear, traceability breaks. And once traceability is compromised, compliance is compromised – regardless of how well the part was marked on day one.
This is where “permanent” marking often fails aerospace audits. Not because requirements were ignored, but because the marking method didn’t account for the full operational life of the part.
In aerospace, permanence means resistance to:
- Heat and thermal cycling
- Chemical cleaning and corrosion prevention
- De-icing and anti-icing fluid exposure
- Abrasion and handling
- Long-term exposure and rework
Move Beyond Surface-Level Marking
Laser marking doesn’t just apply data; it embeds it. Replace unreliable inks and labels with a process designed to survive de-icing, thermal cycling, and abrasion. Laser marking meets aerospace durability requirements by permanently altering the material surface, embedding data rather than applying it. The result is consistent, readable identification that survives inspection, overhaul, and service life.
At Beamer Laser Marking, we help you reduce audit risk by replacing short-term marking methods with industrial laser solutions that deliver a highly precise and controlled process. This precision allows manufacturers to consistently create marks that meet traceability standards and support audit readiness.
Whether it’s commercial aircraft, spacecraft, or fighter jet components, our laser marking solutions produce clear, durable identification across a wide range of materials and finishes.
