enamel kiln

An enamel kiln is a specialized oven used to fuse powdered glass (enamel) onto metal, creating a durable, decorative surface. The process involves applying the enamel as a fine powder or liquid to metal objects like jewelry, then heating the piece in the kiln at high temperatures—often between 750°C to 850°C (1382°F to 1562°F)—until the enamel melts and bonds permanently. This controlled heat ensures the enamel develops a smooth, glassy finish that enhances appearance and protects the underlying metal from corrosion. Enameling in a kiln is essential for producing colorful, intricate, and long-lasting decorative finishes on metal items.
