ASTM A424 is officially known as the standard specification for steel, sheet, and porcelain enameling. The specification goes on to say “ This specification covers standard requirements for sheet steel in coils and cut lengths for porcelain enameling. Heat analysis of Type I, Type II, and Type III steels shall conform to the prescribed chemical composition for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and others. However, an exception is made on carbon, since heat analysis of carbon is not appropriate for Type I. The material shall also conform to the required mechanical properties such as bending and formability ”. 

Enameling is one of the oldest forms of working with both glass and metal to create color and pattern on the surface of the jewelry, wall work, and sculptures. It is an invaluable industrial process to coat steel for practical uses in appliances, cookware, and signage.

Enameling steel is a high-tech process using highly sophisticated materials and state-of-the-art techniques. Enameled products are now used in many different industries, particularly in the cooking industry, architectural and decorative applications.
