Enameling tests were conducted on both killed and rimmed steels of low-carbon iron and steel with a phosphorus content up to 0.60%. Phosphorus was found to reduce the sag of laboratory-prepared enameling stock to a marked degree. The most effective range of phosphorus was from 0.10 to 0.15%, and killed steels were superior to rimmed steels in their sag resistance. Phosphorus appeared to have no significant influence on common enameling defects. In amounts of less than 0.40%, it had no marked effect on the adherence of the enamel. The deep drawing qualities of the sheet, based on Olsen ductility tests, were somewhat impaired by phosphorus. This i s in line with the strong tendency for phosphorus to raise the strength of the sheet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
