What temperatures are we talking about here?

TMT

Forging and blacksmithing requires steel to be a red heat-around
1500degF, I would guess. Powdercoating is much like a kitchen oven, 375
to 450 deg, depending on the type of powder used. PC often also
requires a change in temp during the process, i.e., heat at 450 to
flowout, and then cure at 400 for 20 minutes.
