Emails und Emaillierungen - Terminologie

Diese Europäische Norm definiert eine Reihe von Begriffen, die Emails und Emaillierungen sowie zugehörige Technologien betreffen. Die Auflistung der Begriffe ist nicht vollständig und umfasst nur die Begriffe, deren Definition für ein richtiges und ausreichendes Verständnis als notwendig erachtet wird, um die betreffenden Prozesse zu erläutern.
Es sollte berücksichtigt werden, dass die angeführten Erläuterungen praxisnah für das Gebiet der Emails und Emaillierungen sind und dass sie nicht zwangsläufig denen entsprechen, die auf anderen Gebieten verwendet werden.
Zur besseren Übersichtlichkeit steht der englischsprachige Begriff „vitreous enamel“, der in dem (englisch-sprachigen) Dokument durchgängig verwendet wird, gleichbedeutend für den in den Vereinigten Staaten und einigen anderen Ländern bevorzugt verwendeten Begriff „porcelain enamel“.

Émaux vitrifiés - Terminologie

La présente Norme européenne définit un certain nombre de termes relatifs aux émaux vitrifiés et à leur technologie. La liste n’est pas exhaustive et ne comprend que les termes dont la définition est considérée comme nécessaire à la bonne compréhension, afin de clarifier ces processus.
Il convient de noter que les interprétations données sont celles qui correspondent à l’usage pratique dans ce domaine, et qu’elles ne coïncident pas nécessairement avec celles d’autres domaines.
A titre de clarification, le terme anglais vitreous enamel, utilisé dans tout le document anglais, est synonyme du terme anglais porcelain enamel, qui est le terme usité aux Etats-Unis et dans certains pays.

Steklasti in keramični emajli - Terminologija

Ta evropski standard določa število izrazov v zvezi z steklastimi in keramični emajli ter njihovimi tehnologijami. Ta seznam ni popoln in vsebuje samo tiste izraze, za katere velja, da je potrebna definicija za pravilno in primerno razumevanje z namenom razjasnitve teh procesov. Upoštevati je treba, da podane razlage ustrezajo praktični uporabi na tem področju in da ni nujno, da sovpadajo z razlagami, ki se uporabljajo na drugih področjih. V pojasnitev je izraz steklasti emajl, ki se uporablja povsod v tem evropskem standardu, in je sinonim za keramični emajl, ki je bolj priljubljen izraz v Združenih državah in nekaterih drugih državah.

NOTE Annex A lists alternative terms and cross refers to primary terms used below. 2.1 abrasive blasting process for cleaning or finishing by means of an abrasive directed at high velocity against the work piece 2.2 abrasion resistance degree of resistance of vitreous enamel to be abraded by solid materials 2.3 acid resistance degree of resistance of vitreous enamel to attack by acidic corrosive chemicals 2.4 adherence (enamel-metallic substrate) adhesion degree of bonding between the fused vitreous enamel and the metallic substrate 2.5 adherence of powder ability of a vitreous enamel powder to remain attached by static attraction to a grounded substrate before firing 2.6 ageing change in properties of vitreous enamel slips, powders, reagents, or steel with the lapse of time 2.7 air seal air curtain flow of pressurised air across the entrance and exit of a continuous furnace that prevents heat escaping from the furnace but allows ware to pass through 2.8 alkali degreasing removal of oil, grease, lubricants, and loose debris from the surface of the metallic substrate by immersion or spraying with an aqueous alkali degreaser in preparation for vitreous enamelling SIST EN 15826:2010

defect that starts with a few particles of powder detaching themselves after application and as they cascade down the ware they gather more and more powder leaving a trail of thinner and thinner coating NOTE Excess powder, inadequate powder adhesion and vibration contribute to this defect. 2.36 cast iron enamel vitreous enamel specifically formulated for application on cast iron substrate 2.37 cermet ceramic-metal coating mixture of one or more ceramic materials in combination with a metallic phase applied to a metallic substrate 2.38 chalkboard enamel blackboard enamel special type of matt vitreous enamel, used to provide a writing surface for chalk 2.39 chalky surface surface defect where the vitreous enamel surface has lost its gloss and taken on a powdery appearance

plate weight amount of vitreous enamel retained on a test plate after dipping, flow coating or by slushing NOTE This is specified as either dry weight or wet weight retained per unit area on a test plate. 2.78 dipping (wet process) swilling (wet process) application of vitreous enamel by immersing the component in a bath of vitreous enamel slip, and subsequent removal of excess enamel by draining 2.79 dipping (dry process) application of vitreous enamel in dry process enamelling by briefly immersing the red hot component in powdered frit 2.80 direct fired furnace open flame furnace NOTE The products of combustion come into contact with the ware during firing. 2.81 direct-on-enamelling vitreous enamel coating, applied directly onto the metallic substrate and functioning as either a ground coat or as a finish coat 2.82 discontinuity weakness within the vitreous enamel coating that is detected by spark testing 2.83 double draining evidence of further flow having occurred after the apparent end of draining 2.84 double-face ware ware that has a finish coating on both surfaces 2.85 drain line defect resembling a streak of thicker or thinner enamel NOTE Drain lines result from the flow of excess enamel after dipping. SIST EN 15826:2010

NOTE See dip weight (2.77). 2.93 drying crack defect characterised as a fissure in the bisque, visible after firing 2.94 dulling lustreless finish to the vitreous enamelled surface 2.95 dust coat relatively thin, sprayed coating of vitreous enamel slip 2.96 easy-to-clean enamel ETC enamel vitreous enamel specifically formulated to allow the easy removal of food soil deposits from its surface NOTE ETC enamel needs to be neither pyrolytic nor catalytic. 2.97 edging process of removing vitreous enamel bisque from the edge of a piece of ware to expose the underlying vitreous enamel SIST EN 15826:2010

defect resulting from poor penetration by charged enamel particles into concave areas leading to thin spray and potentially to burn-off 2.108 film strength relative resistance of the vitreous enamel bisque to mechanical damage NOTE See cross-bend test (2.64). 2.109 fineness test control test used to measure the degree to which a vitreous enamel frit has been milled in either the wet or dry form, usually expressed in grams residue retained on a particular mesh sieve from a given sample size SIST EN 15826:2010

flake result of fusing a mixture of different inorganic raw materials, which constitute the vitrifiable base of the enamel, molten at temperatures between 1 150 °C and 1 350 °C and then quenched the molten glassy mass from these temperatures
