Granted oven cleaner will remove most air dry alkyd finishes. Often AG OEM's applied alkyd melamine baking enamels to cold rolled steel sheet metal parts such as hoods, etc. These baking enamels are more resistant to caustic materials than conventional air dry finishes. Oven cleaner in this case may not work too effectively as a chemical stripper.
Alternatives to chemical stripping may be of interest here. Manufacturing companies often send paint conveyor fixtures/hooks and finish defective parts to job shops who provide thermal stripping services. Using a burn off oven, the item is heated under controlled conditions to 850 F causing the paint to thermally decompose without affecting the base metal's properties. Custom powder coating shops often have burn off ovens of their own.
A custom powder coater can remove the paint, chemically treat the metal (iron or zinc phosphating) and apply a powder coated epoxy primer that will in most cases out perform other options...... so long as cost isn't one of them.
