| Application areas | HC300EK grade is particularly suitable for the manufacture of water heater tanks. It can also be used for flat parts for household items (dripping pans, baking trays) and shower trays or for manufacturing architectural panels for building interiors or exteriors. | |
| Chemical composition | The manufacturing conditions guarantee very good resistance to “fish scale” defects (TH > 100 in accordance with EN 10209). | |
| Coating | Enamelling Surface treatment: The parts must be degreased before enamelling. When enamel containing a low level of adhesion oxides is used (e.g. water heater tank using Ni-free enamel), sand blasting or pickling may be necessary. Enamel application and firing: HC300EK grade is compatible with all the common enamelling processes: wet spraying, electrostatic liquid or powder enamelling. Both ground and conventional enamelling processes are feasible. Where wet application is used, it is imperative to dry the enamel layer before firing. Enamel firing is carried out at 830°C. | |
| Joining | HC300EK grade can easily be welded, whatever the welding process may be. Other joining processes (clinching, crimping) may also be used. | |
| Processing methods | HC300EK grade can be formed by bending, profiling or light drawing. | |
