 It turned out well; in fact I used the plate as part of a fixture for welding my 4130 engine mount and found it held up unbelieveably well near flames.  I was sure I would have to repaint it, but it came through unscathed.

        What about the temper in the aluminum?

        I would be very nervous if I heated a tempered aluminum plate much over 350 F. This is a very conservative number, but it is commonly used as the threshold for tempered aluminum.
