Abstract

The present invention provides enamelware and a glaze improving the bondability between the steel substrate and enamel layer and superior in resistance to dew point corrosion by sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, that is, a steel substrate of a composition containing, by mass %, Cu: 0.05 to 0.5%, Si: 0.1 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.05 to 2.0%, P: 0.005 to 0.10%, and S: 0.005 to 0.1%, restricting C to C: 0.20% or less, and comprising a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities on the surface of which an enamel layer of a thickness of 50 to 700 μm is provided. At that time, the content of Co oxides in the enamel layer is made, converted to Co, 0.01 to 10% and/or the content of Ni oxides is made, converted to Ni, 0.05 to 20% or the total content of Ni in the steel substrate and enamel layer is made 0.005 to 4.5% with respect to the total mass of the enamelware and/or the total content of Co is made 0.008 to 4.0% with respect to the total mass of the enamelware.

Claims (31)

1. Enamelware comprised of a steel substrate on the surface of which an enamel layer is provided, wherein said steel substrate contains,

by mass %,

Cu: 0.05 to 0.37%,

Si: 0.1 to 2.0%,

Mn: 1.2 to 2.0%,

Mo: 0.003 to 0.034

P: 0.005 to 0.10%,

S: 0.005 to 0.1%,

C: 0.20% or less,

Sb: 0.080 to 0.8%,

Ni: 0.005 to 4.5%, and

Co: 0.008 to 4.0%;

optionally one or more elements selected from the group consisting of:

Sn: 0.005 to 0.3%,

Cr: 0.005 to 2.0%

Ti: 0.01 to 2.0%,

Nb: 0.01 to 2.0%,

V: 0.01 to 2.0%,

Zr: 0.01 to 2.0%,

B: 0.001 to 1.0%

Ca: 0.005 to 2.0%,

Rem: 0.005 to 2.0%,

Mg: 0.005 to 1.0%,

O: 0.01 to 0.30%,

Al: 0.005 to 0.10% and

a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities,

wherein said enamel layer has a thickness of 50 to 700 μm, and contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of, in total content per total mass, Ni: 0.005 to 4.5% and Co: 0.008 to 4.0%.

2. Enamelware as set forth in claim 1 , characterized in that said steel substrate and said enamel layer have a plating layer comprised of Ni, an Ni alloy, Co, a Co alloy, Zn, a Zn alloy, Al, an Al alloy, Sn, or a Sn alloy having a thickness of 1 to 500 μm provided between them.

3. Enamelware as set forth in claim 1 , characterized in that said steel substrate contains, by mass %, Ni: 0.30 to 4.5%.

4. A method of producing an enamelware superior in resistance to dew point corrosion by sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid comprising:

forming a steel substrate as set forth in claim 1 onto a surface of which an enamel layer is provided, wherein said enamel layer has a thickness of 50 to 700 μm, and contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of, in total content per total mass, Ni: 0.005 to 4.5% and Co: 0.008 to 4.0%.
