The silicate-enamel coating becomes the actual coating as a result of firing, which is a process of heating steel products coated with a “biscuit” dried slip layer, until completely melted, and a continuous coating is obtained on a metal substrate. With the constantly increasing requirements for the technical and operational properties of enameled products in the production of steel pipelines, it is advisable to use single-layer enameling, which saves raw materials and energy, due to the reduction in the number of layers and firing cycles of products. Its use for large-sized products, such as pipelines, eliminates their warping that occurs during repeated firing. In addition, the use of single-layer coatings makes it possible to obtain a better surface of products, since with a decrease in the resulting coating thickness it becomes more elastic and impact-resistant. All of the above is predetermined both by the structure of the glass coating itself and the generally formed steel - enamel composition. Therefore, knowledge of the structure, as well as of the physicochemical processes that occur during the firing of the enameled product, is necessary to solve technological issues successfully.
