ABSTRACT
Enamel is a coating type obtained by coating metal surfaces such as steel, iron, aluminum with glassy silicate mixtures (frit) and sintering them at low temperatures. The silicate-containing glass layer called frit can be applied to the surface of the material to be coated as wet mud or as powder. In this study, different amounts of P2O5 were added to the frit composition currently used in enamel coatings and the changes in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the coating were tested. For this purpose, 5 different frit recipes were created by adding different amounts of P2O5 to the frit as 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1,5% and 2% by weight. Frit recipes were determined by making changes in the Seger formulation. The powders prepared in the study were electrostatically coated on 12*15 cm cleaned plates and then baked in a laboratory-type box oven at 840 oC for 4 minutes. Color test, impact test, acid test, ETC and pyrolytic test were applied to the prepared enamel-coated plates. The chemical analysis of the coated enamels was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF).
