Verify powder coating cure with oven temperature profiling

Steps
Attach calibrated Type K thermocouples to the substrate at representative locations: thickest mass, coldest zones, leading/trailing edges
Run an insulated data logger with a thermal barrier through the oven riding with the part to record actual part (metal) temperature vs. time
Compare the recorded time-at-temperature profile against the powder manufacturer's cure schedule for peak metal temperature and dwell time
Repeat profiling after any oven, line-speed, or load-pattern change, not just at initial line qualification
Retain profile records for quality traceability and cure verification
Known gotchas
Oven air/set-point temperature is not cure temperature — cure must be validated against actual part temperature via profiling, not oven gauges
The thermal barrier/logger box must be rated to survive the oven's temperature range without drifting the readings
