Hi Erich,
I powder coated my tailwheel spring in the year 2000. I have no idea
what temperature was used in the oven but I have found no ill effects
over 980 hours of flying and ~1400 landings. (Some quite hard!)
If I did this over again I would probably nickel plate the spring noting
that it is good practice to have an initial flash coat of copper before
the nickel.
Cheers, John

Subject: Powder Coating Tailwheel Spring
Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience with powder coating their Tailwheel Spring? Is
there a concern about the oven temp necessary to melt the powder and the potential
affect on the temper of the steel. I see that they are now producing some
low melt temp powders (340 deg F.). However, I do not know what temperature
the spring was temped at. I suspect much higher, probably around 500 deg F.,
Although, I would rather not guess. Thoughts?
Blue skies,
