Popis: | A systematic X-ray diffraction study was made of the effect of nickel pickling on (1) the oxidation of bare enameling iron and (2) the reactions taking place under ground-coat enamels. Nickel pickling reduces the amount of oxide formed during the heat-up part of the firing cycle and favors the formation of Fe3O4, rather than of FeO. Since less oxide is formed on nickel pickled steel, the enamel can completely dissolve the initial oxide layer in a shorter time or at a lower temperature. With a typical high-temperature ground coat, the time and temperature conditions required for adherence development can be correlated with the conditions required for removal of the oxide layer. With a low-temperature ground coat, however, complete solution of the initial oxide layer does not insure adherence unless nickel pickling is used. Possible explanations for this latter effect exerted by nickel pickling are discussed. Metallic precipitates have been found in normal ground coats regardless of whether adherence is good or poor. |
