Abstract
The present invention provides a new and improved porcelain enamel coating composition for use in forming a self-cleanable coating upon aluminized steel. The coating composition comprises a glass component having a composition comprising from about 30% to about 55% SiO2, from about 11% to about 20% TiO2, from about 0% to about 10% B2O3, from about 20% to about 40% alkali metal oxides, less than about 5% rare earth metal oxides, from about 0% to about 10% CaO, from about 0% to about 10% BaO, from about 0% to about 10% MnO, from about 2% to about 12% CuO, from about 0% to about 10% Sb2O3, from about 1.5% to about 10% Fe2O3, from about 0% to about 10% SnO2, from about 0% to about 10% P2O5, less than about 2% MoO3, and less than about 5% V2O5.
Claims9
A porcelain enamel coating composition comprising a glass composition comprising by weight from about 30% to about 55% SiO2, from about 11% to about 20% TiO2, from about 0% to about 10% B2O3, from about 20% to about 40% alkali metal oxides, less than about 5% rare earth metal oxides, from about 0% to about 10% CaO, from about 0% to about 10% BaO, from about 0% to about 10% MnO, from about 2% to about 12% CuO, from about 0% to about 10% Sb2O3, from about 1.5% to about 10% Fe2O3, from about 0% to about 10% SnO2, from about 0% to about 10% P2O5, less than about 2% MoO3, and less than about 5% V2O5, said composition when fired on aluminized steel forming a porous coating layer that exhibits cleanability beyond six cycles in compliance with ISO 8291.
A method of producing a coated section of aluminized steel comprising:
- i) providing a section of aluminized steel;
- ii) applying a porcelain enamel coating composition to said aluminized steel, said porcelain enamel coating composition comprising a glass component comprising by weight from about 30% to about 55% SiO2, from about 11% to about 20% TiO2, from about 0% to about 10% B2O3, from about 20% to about 40% alkali metal oxides, less than about 5% rare earth metal oxides, from about 0% to about 10% CaO, from about 0% to about 10% BaO, from about 0% to about 10% MnO, from about 2% to about 12% CuO, from about 0% to about 10% Sb2O3, from about 1.5% to about 10% Fe2O3, from about 0% to about 10% SnO2, from about 0% to about 10% P2O5, less than about 2% MoO3, and less than about 5% V2O5;
- and
- iii) firing said section of aluminized steel so as to provide a porous enamel coating layer on said section of aluminized steel that exhibits cleanability beyond six cycles in compliance with ISO 8291.
