Tinted one-coat glass enamels for steel

A basic formula for one-coat glass enamel is developed, which makes it possible to obtain a wide color range of coatings for steel products with good surface quality. A number of ionic colorants is tested, mainly compounds of d-and f-elements. The properties of coatings are studied: chemical resistance, adhesion strength, luster, and heat resistance. Their firing temperature is determined. The obtained glass enamels can be used in industrial production. __________ Translated from Steklo i Keramika, No. 1, pp. 28–30, January, 2006.     

Low-melting lead-free fluxes for enamels deposited on glass

Low-melting lead-free glass fluxes are developed to produce enamel for glass decoration. The glasses have the following parameters: CLTE (82–85) × 10⁻⁷ K⁻¹, chemical resistance to water less than 0.06%, and resistance to 2% solution of Na₂CO₃ less than 0.15%; fusibility 22–28 mm. __________ Translated from Steklo i Keramika, No. 6, pp. 29–31, June, 2006.

Use of cobalt-containing oxide waste for synthesizing enamels

It is shown that introduction of up to 7 wt.% cobalt-containing oxide catalyst waste into the mixture for synthesizing acid-resistant one-coat enamel does not worsen its wettability. The content of cobalt in such an enamel amounts to 0.2 – 0.3 wt.%, which is sufficient for its satisfactory cohesion with steel.Translated from Steklo i Keramika, No. 9, pp. 25 – 26, September, 1996.
