History
Enamelling is an old technology and widely adopted. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone artifacts. Former Greeks, Celts, Russians and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects.
Glazing also used to decorate glass vessels during Roman times, and there is evidence that the first to the last Republican and early Empire periods in the Levant, Egypt, Great Britain, Great and the Black Sea. powder enamel can occur in two ways: either by sprinkling colored glass, or a mixture of colorless glass with dyes as a metal oxide. The designs were painted freehand or more incisions plan, and the technique probably originated in metallurgy. Once painted, enameled glass containers should be fired at a temperature sufficiently high to melt the powder applied, but low enough that the fabric of the ship had melted. The production is believed to have peaked in the period Claudia and has remained for nearly three hundred years, but the archaeological evidence for this technique is limited to about forty or fragments of pottery vessels.
From history More recently, the brilliant colors of precious stones, like a glaze favorite choice for designers of jewelry, such as eggs Peter Carl Faberge fantastic, copper enameled boxes Battersea enamel, and artists George Stubbs and other painters of portrait miniatures. Enamel is a favorite technique Art Nouveau jewelers.

Properties
enamel powder is often applied in paste form, and can be transparent or opaque when fired; enamel can be applied to most metals. It has many excellent properties: it is smooth, hard, chemical resistant, durable, can take bright colors and durable, and can not be burned. Its disadvantages are its tendency to crack or break when the substrate is stressed or bent. Its duration has found many functional applications: early signs of twentieth century advertising, interior oven walls, cooking utensils, equipment exterior walls cooking, cast iron bath, storage silos and processing equipment such as chemical reactors and pharmaceutical chemical process tanks. commercial structures such as stations, bus stations and even Lustron houses had walls, ceilings and steel structural enamel porcelain.
color enamel is obtained by the addition of various minerals, often metal oxides cobalt, praseodymium, neodymium iron or. The latter creates tones ranging from pure violet wine red and warm gray. Enamel can be transparent, opaque or opalescent (translucent), which is a variety that gains a milky opacity the more you draw. Different enamel colors can not be mixed to make a new color, like paint. This produces two small specks of color, but the eye can be tricked by grinding colors together a type extremely fine flour dust.
Glazing techniques

Low size, the French word "cut." The metal surface is decorated with a design of low relief that can be seen through translucent and transparent enamel.
Champleve, French for "field" raised, where the surface is cut to form pits in which enamel is fired, exposing the original metal.
Cloisonné, French for "cell", where films are applied child barriers erected to form, which contain different areas (more applied) of the enamel.
enamel painted enamel design is painted on a smooth surface. Grisaille and Limoges enamels are subategories enamel paint.
Gray, French term meaning "gray", whose dark blue or black background often applies, and Limoges (Limoges china) or opalescent (translucent) enamel is applied on top, creating designs on a gradient of black and white, pale as the thickness of the layer of light color increases.
Limoges enamel, made in Limoges, France, the European center of most famous enamel production.
china Limoges, the name of the city in France, where he invented the technique of "painting" of a special enamel called "blanc de Limoges" in a dark surface of the enamel to form a detailed picture, it is often the man. It is a form of gray.
Pply – day, the French for "braid letting in daylight" where the glaze is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but without support, so the light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. He stained glass, and appearance.
Bosse Ronde French for "the round." A 3D type of enamel, which is a sculptural form wholly or partly glazed.
Squad, in a template is placed on the work and enamel powder hangs over the top. The template removed before cooking, remaining glaze in a pattern, a bit high.
Engraved, where a raw enamel layer is applied a layer of enamel has already drawn the contrast color, and then partially removed with a tool to create the design.
Cons enamel is not strictly a technique, but a necessary step in many techniques for applying the glaze on the back part also – sandwiching the metal – to create less stress on the glass to avoid cracking.
Industrial porcelain enamel
Enamel is the first commercial application of veneer iron and steel in Austria and Germany 1850. The rise of industrialization that the purity of raw materials increased or decreased costs. The application process started wet with the discovery of the use of clay frit suspended in the water. Subsequent developments in the twentieth century as the quality of enameled steel preparation surfaces clean only, automation and continuous improvement of the efficiency, performance and quality.
The key ingredient in the porcelain industry of enamel is a very friable glass frit called. Frito is typically an alkaline chemical to thermal expansion borosilicate glass and steel temperature suitable for coating. The raw materials are melted 2100 to 2650F (1150 and 1450C) in a glass of liquid that is designed in the oven and heat shocked in water or fried rolls of steel.
There are three main types frit. First, primers containing oxides of transition metals such as molten cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese and iron to facilitate adherence steel. Second, clear and semi-opaque frits contain little of dyestuffs for the production of color. Finally, Frits titanium white cover layer is supersaturated titanium dioxide, which creates a color while the bright white kitchen.
After melting, the frit must become one of the three main types of coating material of porcelain enamel. First, slide the wet process porcelain enamel (or mud), is a high solids loading of the frit milling products with clay and other electrolytes control viscosity. Second, ready to use (RTU) is a form of cake mix moist soil suspension is dry and can be reconstituted by mixing with water at high shear. Finally, electrostatic powder coating can be applied as a powder is produced by crushing sintered with a record level of proprietary additives.
Most industrial enamel is applied to the ASTM A424 steel glazing line. The carbon enamelled steel quality is controlled to avoid reactions to the firing temperature of enamel. Some of porcelain that is happening in aluminum, cast iron or steel, hot rolled. With regard to Steel coating a layer of soil is be the first to create membership. The surface preparation is required only for the background layer just modern degreasing steel with an alkaline solution mildy.
Fried in melted soil layer containing cobalt and / or nickel oxide and other oxides of transition metals catalyze reactions of enamel steel link. During the firing of the enamel between 1400 and 1640F (760 to 895c), the forms of iron oxide in the steel ladder first. The molten enamel dissolves iron oxide and cobalt and nickel precipitates. The iron acts in a electrogalvanic anode reaction in which iron rusts again dissolved by the glass, and oxidized again with cobalt and nickel available to limit the reaction. Finally, the surface becomes rougher with glass embedded into the holes. White color and the second "cover" the glaze layers are applied on the soil layer of fire. Electrostatic enamel, the enamel powder Color can be applied directly on a layer of uncooked ground-based thin "layer" that is co-fire with the mantle of the cover in a process two-coat/one-fire very effective.
Enamel is composed entirely dismissed conservation laminated glass and metal. The porcelain enamel coating has excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, scratch resistance (5-6 on the Mohs scale), strength of color in the long term ease of cleaning, and is not flammable. Porcelain enamel is glass not paint, that will not fade with UV light. modern Chinese enamel chip and impact resistance due to good thickness control. The typical application of porcelain enamel are ovens, washing machines, sinks, bathtubs, water heaters coated glass, kitchen utensils, kitchen utensils and a barbecue. Industrial applications include boilers, heat exchangers, panels architectural, and electronic circuits. Some new developments in the last ten years, especially enamel / non-stick coating sol-gel hybrid functional highest layers of porcelain enamels, glazes metallic-looking, and easy to clean technologies.
