How steel is handled

Blasting
Rust, mill scale and old paint are blasted off down to clean metal, which leaves the fine texture the powder grips.
Pre-treatment
Steel is degreased and given a phosphate pre-treatment before any powder goes on.
Powder
Outdoor steel gets a polyester powder. Epoxy powders chalk in sunlight, so they are for indoor parts.
Long assemblies
Parts up to 30 ft go through the oven whole, so a long railing or a beam is coated in one piece, with no field joint to touch up.
Before you bring it in
Anything that cannot go through an oven has to come off: rubber, plastic, wood, glass, wiring, bearings and seals. Threads and machined faces that must stay bare are masked here.

Deciding between powder and paint for steel? Powder coating vs paint

Questions about steel

Yes. Rust, mill scale and old paint are blasted off before the steel is coated, so it can come in the way it is.

No. Blasting is done in house, on the same floor. Blasted steel starts rusting again within hours, so it is coated here rather than sent out and brought back.

The powder bonds to the phosphate pre-treatment, not to bare steel. If the coat is ever scratched through to the metal, the phosphate under it helps slow rust creeping out under the coat from the scratch.

For a metal part that can go in an oven, yes. Powder is baked into a single hard film bonded to the metal, where paint dries as a softer layer that needs touching up outdoors.

Yes, if it fits through the oven door. Parts up to 30 ft go through whole, so there is no joint to coat in the field.
