Oven front frame, inner door and control panel

Product advice on steels to be used for:
Important specification
  • High surface quality after enamelling
Recommendation

Front parts of oven require steels with excellent enamelling properties for a perfect surface finish. Depending on your enamelling process, several of our best-in-class products can be used.

Solfer®+ is suitable for the manufacture of complex parts (medium to deep drawing) and is compatible with absolutly all existing enamelling processes and enamel type, including Direct On White enamelling process. This grade offers excellent resistance to "fish scale" defects, as well as the best surface appearance after enamelling.

Solfer® CA grade is suitable for light to medium drawing and is compatible, after degreasing, with the two-coat / one-fire enamelling process using the wet/dry or dry/dry method. This steel grade can also be used for the ground enamelling process. It offers excellent resistance to "fish scale" defects.

Ready-to-Enamel is a surface functionalization that can be specified on all grades for enamelling, which significantly improves the formability for difficult parts and also allows to eliminate degreasing operation before enamelling.

Estetic®

Properties

The Estetic® Casa range of organic coated steels for domestic appliances meets the specific requirements of manufacturers in terms of colour, gloss and surface appearance. The range is divided into three categories:

  • Estetic® Casa Access
  • Estetic® Casa Classic
  • Estetic® Casa Protect

Advantages

Compared with products obtained by means of post-painting (where the paint layer is applied by a wet or dry process after forming), ArcelorMittal’s Estetic® Casa range of organic coated steels is the best choice for combining technical and economic advantages with respect for the environment. A wide variety of surface appearances, textures, colours and gloss levels is available. These organic coated steels are also characterised by a level of performance designed to meet the technical requirements expected during the manufacturing process and to preserve product quality during the lifetime of the appliance.

The whole Estetic® Casa range of products has been developed in compliance with European environmental standards and regulations. The composition of all organic paint layers meets the requirements of the W.E.E.E. and R.o.H.S. European directives.

Applications

Estetic® Casa products are ideal for applications such as front and side panels, doors, lids, covers and control panels of domestic appliances, e.g. refrigerators, washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and cookers. Each product in the range has its own specific field of application to ensure optimum technical performance. For example:

  • Estetic® Casa Access: entry-level product perfectly suited to built-in appliances
  • Estetic® Casa Classic: good compromise in terms of flexibility and surface hardness, suitable for a wide range of domestic appliance applications
  • Estetic® Casa Protect: this product offers superior corrosion protection and superior resistance to detergents for demanding applications
