The use of Solfer® decarburised cold rolled steel grades for white and coloured enamelling processes produces an excellent surface finish after enamel firing. Decarburisation during open-coil annealing process – Solfer® and Solfer®+ grades: these grades are particularly suitable for the direct-on white or coloured enamelling process after degreasing, pickling and deposition of a nickel layer. However, they can also be used for two-coat / one-fire or for ground enamelling processes using ground-coat enamel specially designed for the low intrinsic reactivity of these grades (e.g. enamelling of self-cleaning pyrolytic oven cavities). Surface decarburisation during continuous annealing process – Solfer® CA grade: this patented steel grade has been developed for the two-coat / one-fire enamelling process. Nevertheless, it can also be used for ground or conventional enamelling processes. Solfer® and Solfer®+ grades are suitable for the manufacture of complex parts (medium to deep drawing) and are compatible with all existing enamelling processes (direct-on white or coloured enamelling after degreasing, pickling and coating with nickel, two-coat / one-fire or ground enamelling after degreasing), with enamel layers being applied as either a liquid or a powder. These grades offer excellent resistance to "fish scale" defects. A minimum TH of 100 is guaranteed, in accordance with EN 10209:2013. Solfer® CA grade is suitable for light to medium drawing and is compatible, after degreasing, with the two-coat / one-fire enamelling process using the wet/dry or dry/dry method. This grade can also be used for the ground enamelling process.
