Blisters on enameled cast‐iron ware may be traced either to faulty enamels and process of application or to the castings themselves. This investigation is concerned with the latter type of blisters. Differences in the blistering tendencies of different sets of castings were clearly brought out by an enameling test which included a variety of firing treatments. Using this test it was found that not only do different irons have different blistering tendencies, but successive heats of the same iron may have different blistering tendencies. The main source of blisters from the irons used in this work was overcome by removal of a thin surface layer of the castings, through either mechanical or chemical means.
