Default Metal Ingredients of Kat rims

I am current pursuing the powder-coating of my 94 Kat 600 rims. Most of the places that I talk to say that they will powder-coat them if they are 100% aluminum. They told me that there may be some magnesium in the rims and that they might become brittle after firing.

How can I tell if my rims are 100% aluminum?

Thanks
