The article considers high-temperature enamel coatings prepared from charges synthesizing enamel with a suffi ciently high fi ring temperature and providing the required protective properties and heat resistance. Brief scientifi c and experimental research is given for the coatings obtained based on compositions modifi ed with additions of refractory fi llers added in the form of nanosize oxide powders. Keywords: high-temperature protective coatings, heat resistance and thermal stability, thermal expansion coeffi cient, composite coatings, steel protection from gas corrosion.One method for protecting apparatus and equipment from gas corrosion is application to their surface of heat-resistant or high-temperature coatings.A number of specifi cations are laid down for high-temperature protective coatings. They should be continuous and impenetrable for a corrosive medium, exhibit good adhesive strength with metal, not worsen the production properties of the base material, etc.High-temperature coatings of two types are used: heat-resistant and thermally stable. Heat-resistant coatings are resistant to the action of corrosive media, being at a temperature not lower than 650°C (start of red incandescence). For a thermally stable coating, this temperature is above the operating limit.Formation of high-temperature multifunctional coatings is accomplished at comparatively high temperature of the order to 1200-1400°C, which in many cases leads to a reduction in strength and other properties of the metal protected by a coating. Therefore, a task arose of preparing coatings with improved or good heat resistance with a comparatively low formation temperature, characterized simultaneously by an increased value of the thermal expansion coeffi cient (TEC), playing an important role in creating heat-resistant coatings [1]. It is controlled by adding nanosize metal oxide powders and is selected in relation to the metal being protected.High-temperature heat-resistant coatings may be simple (single-component) or complex. The authors have carried out research aimed at preparing oxide coatings of the following types: crystalline (entirely or as a basis of composite or glassy-crystalline), and sitallized glass enamel.Composite high-temperature coatings are a combination of a glass matrix and refractory fi ller, distinguished by good operating and physicochemical properties as a result of combining the composition of multicomponent silicate enamels with refractory or chemically stable fi llers [2]. They are used in order to protect low-carbon, unalloyed, and alloy steels, nickel,
