Bill Kielb Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Glazes melt and form a glass so not likely. Typical low fire glaze on the order of 1000C, 1950f so likely far too hot for your wares and have very different expansion rates than steel. Enameling comes closer and generally melts at 1500 - 1600 f. (800 - 860 C) Folks often torch apply enameling for those without a kiln. For decorative purposes you might do the same.

Hulk Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Proved recipes for the particular metal likely required. Enjoyed reading a bit about enameling here: Industrial porcelain enamel - Wikipedia which introduces some of the particular details involved in mild steel enameling. Here's an article on stainless steel enameling: Enamel Coating on Stainless Steel (nolifrit.com) Edited May 5, 2023 by Hulk correction PeterH and Rae Reich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Most ceramic glazes, even ones meant for earthenware, will melt at much higher temperatures than stainless steel, so that alone will probably make them not compatible.
