Influence of graphene addition on the mechanical and surface properties of vitreous enamel coatings

Vitreous enamel is a very interesting coating for both aesthetical and technical purposes. The deposition of enamel coatings can be exploited on different materials, such as steel, cast iron and aluminium alloys, and it allows to greatly improve their mechanical, chemical, corrosion and thermal protection properties. Despite their high hardness, enamel coatings show limited abrasion resistance, mainly due to their vitreous nature and brittle...
