The effect of element Ti on adherence between a CoO‐bearing single‐layer enamel coating and steel was investigated. Falling‐weights tests were carried out and cross‐sections at interface of the enamel/substrate were analyzed with a scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy ( EDS ). Results show that addition of TiO 2 reduced adherence of the enamel coating by hindering the formation of anchor‐like alloy precipitates. The decrease of anchor points lies in the following three reasons: I. The diffusion path of Co 2+ ions to the interface was lengthened because of the blocking effect of rutile and the FeTiO 3 crystals; II . Formation of CoTiO 3 crystals leads to a reduction of free Co 2+ ions; III . Co–Fe precipitates form away from the enamel/substrate interface, as FeTiO 3 crystals provide extra surface for the nucleation of Fe–Co alloy precipitates.
