Enamel lead

The design and purchase of the G-178 apparatus necessary to duplicate the 400 lb per day Lrench process is proceeding satisfactorily. This entails the procurement of much special equipment, such as a 20-ton refrigeration plant, enamel, lead and silver lined apparatus, etc. ...

Dry Spray. Faulty spraying of vitreous enamel, leading to a rough, sandy surface. 

The main use of lead metaborate is in glazes on pottery, porcelain, and chinaware, as weU as in enamels for cast iron. Other appHcations include as radiation-shielding plastics, as a gelatinous thermal insulator containing asbestos fibers for neutron shielding, and as an additive to improve the properties of semiconducting materials used in thermistors (137). 

Enamels used on cast iron and aluminum have traditionally been composed of Si02, B2O2, 2 5 PbO. The lead oxide produces good surface... 

Maximum Strain. Strain in enamels that leads to failure is on the order of 0.002—0.003 cm/cm. Thinner enamels having higher residual compressive stresses are more flexible and can be strained to a greater degree. 

In enamelled boilers, magnesium anodes for the most part are insulated and connected with the container by a ground lead (see Fig. 6-16). This method of...

In some instances it is necessary to coat pipelines internally, and materials widely used are red lead, hot-applied enamels, concrete and epoxy resins. 

Organic acid Some glasses are more prone to attack by organic acids than by other acids with a lower pH value. These acids form complex ions in solution which increases the glass solubility. Many vitreous enamels contain lead oxide and are susceptible to attack by organic acids. Consequently their corrosion resistance is assessed by exposure to acetic or citric acidsThe test temperature is always stipulated because a rise of 10°C can double the rate of reaction between glass and acid. 

The primary function of a coating is to act as a barrier which isolates the underlying metal from the environment, and in certain circumstances such as an impervious continuous vitreous enamel on steel, this could be regarded as thermodynamic control. However, whereas a thick bituminous coating will act in the same way as n vitreous enamel, paint coatings are normally permeable to oxygen and water and in the case of an inhibitive primer (red lead, zinc chromate) anodic control will be significant, whilst the converse applies to a zinc-rich primer that will provide cathodic control to the substrate. 

Storage stability Stable in glass, lead-lined, or enamel-lined containers reaction with iron may be explosive. Vigorous corrosive action on all common metals except lead reaction with iron may be explosive. 

Under these acidic conditions, tooth enamel starts to break down, leading to dental caries (or cavities). When S. mutans,... 

The introduction of enamel into the wastestream results in an increase in the concentration of metals, but these metals (antimony, titanium, zirconium, tin, cobalt, and manganese) are in solid form whereas the metals generated by surface preparation are normally in dissolved form. These solid metals increase the suspended solids concentration of the stream. Other metals that may be found in the enamel preparation and application wastestream in significant amounts include aluminum, copper, iron, lead, nickel, and zinc. Table 8.2 presents pollutant sampling data for the processes used in the porcelain enameling on steel industry. 

Chemical precipitation is used in porcelain enameling to precipitate dissolved metals and phosphates. Chemical precipitation can be utilized to permit removal of metal ions such as iron, lead, tin, copper, zinc, cadmium, aluminum, mercury, manganese, cobalt, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, molybdenum, and trivalent chromium. Removal efficiency can approach 100% for the reduction of heavy metal ions. Porcelain enameling plants commonly use lime, caustic, and carbonate for chemical precipitation and pH adjustment. Coagulants used in the industry include alum, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and polymers.10-12...
