Abstract

A process for enamelling metallic articles, wherein to the melting or milling batch is added 1 to 200% by weight of silicon dioxide in the form of clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products which have been calcined one or more times.

Description

SPECIFICATION Process for enamelling metallic articles The present invention is concerned with a process for enamelling metallic articles, for example large domestic appliances, domestic utensils, baths, exhaust plant, architectural elements and the like, which can be used in the same manner after a wet or powder enamel application.
It is known that in the case of the production of enamel, there are used not only enamel frits but also so-called milling additives. Such milling additives include, for example, water, standardising agents, suspension agents, coloured materials, matting agents and the like.
In particular, it is also known that to the base enamel in a mill are added materials which improve the stoving time and, after stoving of the enamel, produce a heterogeneous structure of the enamel layer. Such materials include, for example, quartz powder, feldspar and zirconium silicate, of which quartz powder is used almost exclusively (see A. Dietzel, "Emaillierung", pub.
Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1980, p. 167; H. Kyri, "Handbuch für Bayer-Email", pub. Bayer-Rickmann GmbH, Koln, 1974, p. 38).
Covering enamels also contain, inter alia, milling additives in order to improve the thermal properties or the hardness of the enamel. Such materials are mostly quartz or flint powder (see German Democratic Republic Patent No. 20909) or also materials which are harder than quartz, for example steatite, aluminium oxide and the like (see Federal Republic of Germany Patent Specification No. 2,754,037). Furthermore, it is known that in the case of melting enamel frits, quartz sand or quartz powder are used for introducing silicon dioxide.
Disadvantages of the above-mentioned materials are, in some cases, the high prices of the raw materials, the influences on certain properties of the enamel, for example acid resistance, elasticity, gloss, stoving temperature or, which is of quite especial importance, the healthimpairing actions of quartz powder, those particles with a size of less than 5-10 ijm being very accessible to the lungs and giving rise to silicosis, which cannot be completely prevented even by means of expensive extraction plant.
It is an object of the present invention to avoid as completely as possible the danger of silicosis when using economically and ecologically advantageous raw materials, as well as to improve the properties of use, such as mechanical thermal and chemical resistance, of enamelled articles.
The problem with which the present invention is concerned is to provide an enamelling process in which silicon dioxide is introduced into the enamel in such a form that the melt or milling additives in question only contain small amounts of free silicon dioxide.
Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a process for enamelling metallic articles, wherein to the melting or milling batch there is added 1 to 200% by weight of silicon dioxide in the form of clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products which have been calcined one or more times.
According to the process of the present invention, it is preferred to use clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products, the plasticity of which has been reduced with clay ceramic substances.
As clay ceramic intermediate products and by-products, there can be used, for example, brick powder or chips, clinker granulate, porcelain powder (from biscuit-baked potsherds or from sharp-fired potsherds), stoneware chips or similar materials.
Since such materials have hitherto been regarded as being contaminations in enamel (for example fire-resistant materials from the linings of enamel stoving furnaces), this surprising recognition was only appreciated in the course of extensive investigations. The further working up now takes place in known manner, for example according to conventional two-layer onestoving enamelling or direct white enamelling.
According to a further feature of the present invention, it is preferable to use coarse starting materials, for example chips or granulates, in order to minimise dust formation in the course of working. Furthermore, in the case of milling additives, the dissolving thereof in the enamel is thereby retarded and a heterogeneous structure is achieved with good mechanical and thermal properties of the enamel with acceptable stoving temperatures.
Depending upon the hardness and particle size of the clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products, a grinding and/or common grinding with the enamel frit is possible.
It can also be especially advantageous to tablet or pelletise the clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products with binding agents which do not impair the enamel, for example clay or carboxymethylcellulose, in order completely to combat dust formation and to improve the flowability.
According to a further feature of the present invention, it can also be advantageous to utilise the inherent colour of a particular clay ceramic intermediate product or by-product in such a manner that colouring or matting materials are omitted or reduced in an amount as milling additives, for example, the use of brown brick powder for a single-layer brown enamel or white porcelain powder for a white enamel. Furthermore, for the achievement of particular enamel properties, it is possible to use the clay ceramic intermediate products or by-products in admixture with one another or with other milling additives.
The following Examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the present invention: Example 1.
In the production of a base enamel, quartz and feldspar powder are replaced by clinker powder. Milling takes place in a 250 kg. mill with a milling time of 9 hours of the following batch: base enamel frit 1 (commercially available) 100 parts by wt.
base enamel frit 2 (commercially available) 70 parts by wt.
clinker powder 70 parts by wt.
clay 14 parts by wt.
standardising agent 0.5 parts by wt.
rust-protection agent 0.15 parts by wt.
water 120 parts by wt.
Example 2.
in the production of a white covering enamel for enamelling utensils, for the simultaneous improvement of the thermal properties, porcelain powder (particle fraction 30 to 100,am) is added to the milling batch which has the following composition: covering enamel frit (commercially available) 210 parts by wt.
porcelain powder 40 parts by wt.
clay 10 parts by wt.
standardising agent 0.4 parts by wt.
water 110 parts by wt.
This enamel is, for example, highly suitable for utensils exposed to high temperatures and/or for rinsing since the acid resistance is doubled and the resistance to wear is increased by about 40%.
Example 3.
In the case of the production of a brown one-layer enamel for the enamelling of preferably oven coverings, a brown brick powder from bricks thinned with brick granulate is added to the milling batch which has the following composition: one-layer enamel frit 1 (commerically available) 1 55 parts by wt.
brick powder 95 parts by wt.
clay 11 parts by wt.
standardising agent 0.3 parts by wt.
rust-protection agent 0. 15 parts by wt.
water 110 parts by wt.
The use of brown colouring materials is omitted.
