Hello,

does anybody have an experience in tagging of casted products? I would like to find something similat to RFID, but resistant to high temperature.

I don't know what RFID stands for but several approachs come to mind. Etching, stamping, roller stamping or attaching a tag with metal tacks.

I need to add, that further on some parts of the surface will be machined, ant the tag cannot weaken the material (Aluminium).

jeltom,

You can go with a metal etched bar code that can be attached to the part. These metal etched bar codes are good for high temperature applications.
