Fourteen commercial enamel frits from five different manufacturers were tested to determine their abilities to protect Nb-1% Zr during the forging cycle in the temperature range of 1800 to 2300 deg F. One frit was found to afford good coverage and protection at 2200 deg F at times up to 5 hours of exposure. Adherence was excellent during upset forging of a coated Nb--1% Zr sample heated 45 minutes at 2200 deg F. Another frit afforded good protection and coverage at 1700 deg F. (auth)
