Download or read book Role of Nickel Dip in Enameling of Sheet Steel written by D. G. Moore and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was made of the effects (a) the firing time and (b) the weight of nickel deposited from the nickel-dip solution on the adherence developed by a cobalt-free and a cobalt-bearing ground-coat enamel on both enameling iron and a titanium-bearing low-carbon steel. At 1550 degrees F it was found that the maximum benefit from the nickel on the measured adherence index occurred at 2-minute firing. The effect of the nickel, however, dropped markedly with longer firing times. It was also found that there was an optimum nickel deposit for maximum adherence. This optimum varied from 50 to about 120 milligrams per square foot, depending on the type of cleaning used and the type of enamel applied.
