Evaluation of the abrasion resistance of enamel coatings

In this work the abrasion resistance of different enamel samples has been investigated. Low-carbon steel panels were coated with three distinct enamels applied by two different methods: wet dip coating and electrostatic powder coating. The composition of the enamel samples is characterized by refractory mill additions that improve the high temperature resistance for applications as ovens or burners. The abrasion resistance has been studied by the standard abrasion test ISO 10545-7 and the Taber test comparing the level of damage and the morphologies.
