摘要
During the production of the inner walls of ovens,pit defects were formed on the surface of the enamel layer that was enameled on the cold-rolled steel via electrostatic powder spraying and sintering.The paper elaborates on the microstructure and element distribution of the enamel-steel interface and the enamel layer.Optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and energy-dispersive spectroscopy were adopted to investigate the microstructure of a longitudinal section of the defect,and the pit-forming causes were analyzed.The results show that rusty spots lead to pit defects.During high-temperature firing,there is an inadequate fusion and reaction between iron oxides of the rusty spots and the enamel glaze.The rusty spots are closely related to pretreatment process;thus,to avoid their occurrence,electrostatic powder spraying and sintering should be performed timely after forming,degreasing,and thorough drying of the metal sheets.
