To create an enamel substrate, a glass paste (slip) consisting of a glass component (frit) and a binder (mill additive) is applied onto a metal plate, heated and melted, and then hardened. However, when heating and melting the glass paste, countless air bubbles are generated in the glass layer, resulting in ticulator-like and Binho μ-like surface defects on the surface of the glass layer after hardening. This caused deterioration of cell characteristics during formation. Furthermore, when this enamel substrate is bent, the stress applied to the glass layer causes damage such as cracks and peeling of the glass layer, making it unsatisfactory as a combustible substrate.
