Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Replacement of Tin Oxide by Antimony Oxide in Enamels for Cast Iron: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Ceramics
The value of the cast iron enamel as it is employed today depends largely on its ability to cover up a rough and otherwise unattractive surface in such a way as to prevent corrosion, to give it a pleasing and attractive appearance, as well as to present a smooth glassy cover which may be easily and effectively cleaned.
In order to bring this about it is necessary to compound a mixture which has a fusion point within workable limits, i.e. Below the weakening point of cast iron and yet above that point where the enamel is of such a nature as to be insoluble in water and dilute solutions of acids.
