Abstract: | The effects produced by the substitution of feldspar for flint and flint for feldspar together with variations in other constituents commonly used in enamels were studied with reference to their resistance to mechanical shock, thermal shock and acid attack. Tests were made on three series of enamels of twenty each which were applied to 8- inch steel dinner plates over a standard ground coat. The enamels of the series containing both flint and feldspar were found to be most satisfactory for general use. Results indicate that enamels having certain excellent properties, making them more suitable for special purposes, may be found in the other two series. |
