I was recently asked a question - do the high temperatures in the
powder coating process adversely affect the characteristics of the
alloys used in aluminum frames?
I seem to remember seeing powder coated Al frames on the market,
though I can't recall any specific examples. It seems to me that you
would need much higher temperatures than typical powder coating
(400degF) to cause any damage to the tubes, but there are MFRs of
engine parts that recommend against powder coating the alloys used in
their products.
Any ideas?
