The ingredients used in making up a batch composition soda ash, antimony oxide may be substituted for .sodium antimonate, etc., it being (understood, that theamounts of such altered raw materials are calculated toyield the desiredfrit composition. I I
'In' the preparation of these frits the raw materials are weighed and thoroughly mixed. The mixed batch is then smelted either in a batch type or a continuous'type smelter and smelted to a homogeneous. glass. Smelting temperatures may vary within wide limits, however, 2100 F.-
23 00 F. is a particularly suitable range. The molten glass is then fritted with air or water by any of the well known methods.
- The frit is then wet ground or dry ground, with suitable mill addition agents infla ballmill or other mill to a predetermined fineness. 'The compositions of our invention produce substantially white semi-opaque porcelain enamels. If an opaque or colored porcelain enamel is desired it is convenient, during the, grinding operation to add the desired opacifying agents (such as TiO orcoloring pigments in addition to the normally used suspending agents, bonding agents, etc.
The milled frit which has been suspended in a suitable vehicle may be applied to the aluminum work piece by any of the well known procedures of spraying, dipping, slushing, brushing,.etc.
After application of the powdered frit to the aluminum work piece it is firedfor several minutes in a suitable furnace in order to fuse the frit onto the surface ofthe work piece. The firing temperatures are not critical since the compositions of my invention mature at from 900 F. to 1050" F. The temperature used in melting or fusing the frit onto the work piece depends to some extent on the particular aluminum alloy being coated and on the particular porcelain enamel composition selected.
Other modes of applying the principle of the invention may be employed, change being made as regards thedetails described, provided the features stated in any of the following claims or the equivalent of such be employed.
