Go to Tim @ Perth Powdercoaters. He did my MY00 rims, price was spot on, finish was stunning and still is (minus bulk brake dust). I went a colour that came in matt only, so he clear-coated them for not much extra, and the finish is very tough and easy to clean.

Melting point of aluminium is 660C. Melting point of Al-Cu alloys as low as 520C Melting point of Al-Si alloys as low as 570C. The majority of 'mag' wheels are made of aluminium alloys, but I have no idea what alloys are the most common The book I have here mentions for a stress relieving heat treatment of an aluminium alloy, soak times "can be as short as 15min". A rough graph indicates stress relieving to occur between 190-280C, with the lower end requiring a longer heat soak of up to an hour. (This is all eye-balled from a rough chart btw, so don't take it too seriously, the values could be quite far off!) In my opinion, if any stress relieving occurs for such a short time at that temp, this is not a massive concern, it may even be of benefit? If the alloy was hardened I would be more concerned. For example if I kerb a rim I would rather it buckle than crack, especially if I don't spot hairline cracks and continue driving on it! |
