If the powder coat calls for 400 degrees I'm unsure the lead will hold as the melting point is below that.
http://www.onlinemetals.com/meltpt.cfm - was the first link I looked at...I had no reason to believe other wise. I looked at another site and ( http://www.bgop.org/melting_points.pdf) this came up linking what you said to it.https://www.powderbuythepound.com/sparkle-copper-dormant.html (this is just one of many powders on sites that are close to 400 or that) I guess Ill have to look at different manufacturers.
Hey when you guys are powder coating do you cure them in the oven afterwards? I'm just worried about the integrity of the soldered in hooks into the tungsten. I don't specifically know the quality of the lead they used but do know they used lead as the metal in the soldering.. If the powder coat calls for 400 degrees I'm unsure the lead will hold as the melting point is below that.
I ordered some tungsten jigs on E bay.The solder melted on a few when I powder coated them which never happened before.Then when I baked them (325) a couple more fell apart. The solder must melt at a pretty low temperature.
