Several methods of preparing an aluminum surface prior to single-layer enameling are examined. Amethod is developed for preparing an aluminum surface by alkali chromate oxidation in a solution based on K2Cr2O4 without annealing but with pre-degreasing with formation of complexes of the type [Al(OH)4(H2O)2]–, [Al(OH)6] – 3, and [Al(OH)5(H2O)] – 2. The effect of the preparation methods on the quality of the enamel coating is studied. The mechanism of the formation of nano-dispersed layers of solid solutions which promote stable bonding of a coating to aluminum is studied.
