Dot Peen marking, also known as "pin marking" and "dot peening" is a marking method performed through the use of a pin to create a deep, lasting and permanent mark on a variety of products such as name plates, industrial parts, and mechanical components for identification and traceability. A carbide pin is a tool used to create an impact on metals through execution of a strong force to produce marks (i.e., metal smashing or punching). This tool has a good wear resistance and high-strength which makes it suitable for permanent marking on industrial parts and mechanical components.
