Vitreous Enameling Steel Grades (ASTM A424)
SRJ Steel, LLC is experienced with and supplies all enameling steel types and appropriate end uses.
Type 1: Carbon content is reduced to a very low level through a process called “Open Coil Annealing” during manufacture in the steel mill.
AKA “Vit 1”, “Decarb”, “Vitrenamel” 1 (USS), “Univit” (Cliffs).
Suited for both one-side and two-side enameling applications.
Particularly good formability.
Appropriate for decorative, appearance-end uses such as cook tops.
Steel may exhibit some strength loss after firing.
Type 2: Low carbon content & addition of important alloying elements are achieved during steelmaking
AKA “Vit 2”, “Vitrenamel” 2 (USS), “Vit-Plus DS (Cliffs).
Suitable for a single ground coat or multiple coats. Not recommended for two-side enameling.
Moderate formability.
Appropriate for non-appearance end-uses such as oven liners.
Type 3: Extra-deep-drawing, titanium-stabilized steel made by utilizing vacuum degassing to reduce the carbon level to an exceptionally low amount to create stable carbides
AKA “Vit 3”, “Vitrenamel” 3 (USS), “Ultravit” (AM Dofasco), “I-F Enamel” (Cliffs).
Suited for both one-side and two-side enameling applications.
Outstanding formability and war page resistance due to stable microstructure.
Appropriate for deep-drawing parts such as bathtubs, as well as large architectural panels prone to sagging during the enameling process.
All Vit steel types from SRJ Steel, LLC have excellent and verifiable glass bonding characteristics, including fish scale resistance. This guarantee is accomplished via proprietary testing and/or analysis of Titanium Precipitate equilibrium (TPE).
