Quality Requirements Edition 6.0 European Enamel Association

For cleaning the cast iron prior to enamelling only angular shot blasting material on 8.1.2. Cast iron with spherical graphite complying to DIN EN 1563
the basis of cast-steel or chilled cast iron has been proved. Both grades are having (spherical graphite iron)
the essential hardness and edge stability (Vickers-Hardness HV above 650).
Fractionated corundum also is very well suitable.
