Vitreous enamels are one of ceramic coatings and have beautiful surface and excellent corrosion resistance . However, practical uses have been limited for the present, because they have a defect of low impact resistance. In this study, the influence of adding metal powders to enamel upon the adhesion was investigated , because the adhesion between enamel and substrate is the most important factor influencing the impact resistance .The adhesion was improved by adding any metal powders to enamel , and excellent adhesion enough for practical uses could be obtained by large amount of additives and high fusing temperature even without expensive pretreatment of substrate. Especially, this improvement of adhesion tended to depend on the volume content of additives , which seemed to be due to the mechanical binding between the roughened surface of substrate and the coating , and the chemical binding of intermediate transition layer formed by dissolving the oxide of substrate in a coating .
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.
