Heat-resistant ceramic ink for data codes on metal components
Fraunhofer researchers have developed an extremely heat-resistant ceramic-based ink. This makes it possible for the first time to mark metal components that are processed in the automotive industry at temperatures of over 1,000 ºC with a code. The code, which is read by a scanner, leads to a database in which all the manufacturing parameters of the respective component are stored.
