MARKING AEROSPACE
& DEFENCE PARTS

Aerospace and defence laser marking demands accuracy, permanence and traceability. Every component in an aircraft or defence system must be identifiable throughout its entire service life — often decades.

Neolase has extensive experience marking aerospace components in titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys and composites. Our largest single job was 660,000 parts for the UK Ministry of Defence — a programme that demanded consistency, security and zero errors across the full production run.

We produce permanent serial numbers, part numbers, Data Matrix codes, NATO stock numbers and manufacturer codes to aerospace standards.

  • Serial numbers and part numbers to AMS, MIL-SPEC standards
  • NATO Stock Numbers (NSN) and CAGE codes
  • Data Matrix and 2D barcode marking
  • Titanium alloy marking (Ti-6Al-4V and variants)
  • Inconel and superalloy marking
  • Aluminium alloy marking (2024, 7075 series)
  • Carbon fibre composite marking
  • Marks that survive extreme temperature, vibration and fluid exposure

AEROSPACE MATERIALS

MATERIALS
WE MARK

TITANIUM ALLOYS

Ti-6Al-4V and other aerospace grades. Colour marking achievable. Permanent marks unaffected by heat treatment or anodising.

INCONEL

High-nickel superalloys used in turbine components and exhaust systems. Laser marking produces legible, permanent marks on these notoriously difficult materials.

ALUMINIUM ALLOYS

2024, 7075, 6061 and other aerospace aluminium grades. High contrast marking for serialisation and identification.

STAINLESS STEEL

Aircraft-grade stainless including 17-4 PH. Permanent marking for fasteners, brackets, structural parts and fittings.

COMPOSITES

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and other composites. Precise marking without delamination or heat damage.

HASTELLOY & OTHERS

Hastelloy, zirconium, cobalt alloys, niobium — we mark exotic aerospace and nuclear-grade materials that others won't attempt.

TRACEABILITY

FULL PART
TRACEABILITY

Aerospace and defence programmes require full part traceability from manufacture through service and maintenance. Laser marking is the preferred method because it is permanent, non-contact, and leaves no residue or weakening of the substrate.

We produce Data Matrix codes that meet ISO/IEC 16022 and can be read by handheld scanners even after years of surface exposure. Serial numbers, batch codes, date codes and custom identifiers are all within our capability.

All aerospace jobs are handled with full security and confidentiality. NDAs are available on request.

  • Data Matrix codes (ISO/IEC 16022)
  • Serial numbers and part numbers
  • NATO Stock Numbers and CAGE codes
  • Manufacturer and date codes
  • Human-readable and machine-readable marking
  • Marks survive temperature extremes, fluids and vibration
  • Confidential handling — NDA available
  • Documented job records on request
