Abstract
The possibility of replacing quartz sand for melting enamel frit by natural diatomite rock is investigated. It is established that the use of local diatomite as the silica material in melting enamel frits is a promising trend in enameling technology. The properties of frits based on diatomite materials are similar to the properties of the reference low-melting frit F-1; they have have slightly lower softening and melting temperatures, and their technological characteristics are within the limits specified by GOST 24495-80 for undercoat enamel on steel.
