Enamelled Steel: Enamel is a mixture
of non-organic vitreous materials (quartz, sands, feldspars, clays
etc) and fluxes (borax, soda ash etc) colored with various metal
oxides. This mixture is fused at a high temperature of about 1300°C,
cast and then cooled rapidly and crushed, thereby forming “enamel
frit”, which is then ground to produce enamel. The enamelling
process produces an everlasting fusion between the steel and the
enamel. The process consists in the application and subsequent
firing at high temperature (830°C) of one or more layers of enamel
applied by various methods (dipping, spraying, coating, pneumatic or
electrostatic spraying, electrophoresis) on to the carefully
prepared surface of a panel. Firing at a high temperature generates
a strong, indestructible fusion between the enamel and its
substrate, which together form a new, stable material. Enamelled
steel is resistant to corrosion, chemicals, detergents, solvents,
acids, pollution, exposure to the weather, saline atmosphere, water,
steam, fire, heat, cold (from -60°C to +450°C), abrasion,
scratching. Enamelled steel is an excellent dielectric and
ultraviolet rays have no effect on its colour or gloss.
