Low carbon steel having less than 0.012% carbon, is prepared for enameling by degreasing and rinsing, then heating the steel to 200 DEG to 800 DEG C. and depositing thereon by vacuum evaporation an alloy of iron with another Group VIII metal such as nickel or cobalt, the nickel or the like being present in the alloy in an amount 1 to 15% and preferably 4 to 8% by weight, balance iron, and being present on the steel in an amount 0.5 to 4 grams per square meter and preferably 1 to 3 grams per square meter. The previous need to pickle the steel between degreasing and enameling is thus eliminated, and the number of steps and the cost of equipment and operation is reduced. |
