some freak about any combustion potential during curing

I don't know the facts ... just used to source powdercoating in work situation, and recall the magnesium hesitation during discussions.
Be great to know the FACTS (?)

It is true that solid magnesium can burn under suitable temperature conditions, but those temperatures are higher than 400 Celsius - no powder coating oven goes that high. Molten magnesium is the stuff that needs to be handled carefully, not a solid mag wheel.
Brittleness? Why do people say things like that? If anything, the magnesium alloy would be annealed and made softer. In any case, powder coating ovens don't get to high enough temperatures to cause any serious heat treatment effects.Last edited by Guest; 11-06-2013, 08:54 AM.

Good looking bike. Cool tail lights.
What was done regarding the jetting.And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
