PROPERTIES OF PORCELAIN ENAMELED ALUMINUM

Thn important property t% due to lo faciorv Firit, the porcelain enameled coal ing it tight!) adherent. so that progressive spalling from a damaged or cut location does not occur. Second, due to the high opacity of lcad*hcaring porce lain enamels. singW coat with a ihicLnm only one-Haif to one-fifth of that required f.e tied h wfficient for aluminum.

Chemical Redstone*: Chemical resistance will vary, of course, wnh frit fonmilatinn and can van ith

High re sistance to weathering h normal!) associated with high acid resistance. The better formulations with PEI citric acid spot lest tatmg from S to A and AA can he expected to have nerftent weather resistance. Figures I and 2 give citric acid and tedium pyrophosphate solubility curves fur a commercial frit of class A rating. High alkali resistance is not considered as hw* poflaft! a measure of weather durability as high acid resistance, hut it indicates that the porcelain enamel wn not stain, streak, or Hit coka when cleaned with strong detergents - an important point for appliances and machinery parts.
ReOcctAc*: Reflectance for w hitc light ranges up to #*'< with total reflectance as high as RtC .
Thermal Stability: Porcelain enameled aluminum can be healed to within 3W F of the firing tempera* lure wshout damage to the coaling. Dry cold and freezing temperatures do me affect it. nor does alter* natc free/mg and thaw mg in the presence of moisture.
Thermal Shock Rasbtanca: Porcelain enameled aluminum panels heated to l.ttfiO F have hem plunged mio cold water without cracking or flaking of the enamel craning.
Dielectric Straogth: The porcelain enamd as writ able fra insulating and shielding purposes, has a voltage breakdown ratatg of 5<tu volts per m3 thick ness at room temperature.
