    Your fine with regular powder, the amount of time those parts are at cure temp is minimal. You could also cure at a lower temp for a longer time. If it really concerns you there are some low cure powders out there.

    Doug,
    Some aluminum and steel alloys are very sensitive to higher temps.

    Good luck
