A bstract Lead‐bearing and leadless cast‐iron enamels, applied directly on the iron, and leadless enamels, applied over a ground coat, were fired in normal, low oxygen‐high nitrogen, high carbon dioxide, and high water‐vapor atmospheres, and the effect upon the surface and physical properties in relation to impact and thermal resistance was determined. The enamels in some cases were applied over graphited castings, fired in the several atmospheres, and tested. The behavior of different types of enamel fired in various atmospheres differs, the leadless enamel applied over ground coat showing the least effect. High water‐vapor content appears generally to be more deleterious than the other atmospheric conditions.
