Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co Ltd has successfully developed 2 mm hot-rolled enamel steel sheet for water heater tank (/% : ≤0.14C

≤1.20Mn. ≤0.030P

≤0.025S 

≤0.l0Ti). The results show that the steel sheet after simulated enamelling at 850 ℃ for 10 min still has high strength (Rm 366 MPa) and good formability ；the hot-rolled grain is uniform and fine

and there is no obvious change in grain size after enamel

and there are a large number of second phase particles dispersed precipitation ； for commercial produced enamel steel after single-sided enamel

it shows good scale explosion resistance and can meet the application requirements of making water heater tank.
