Enameling, as an ancient and exquisite surface decoration technique, is important in jewelry, artwork and industrial products for its vibrant colors, smooth texture and excellent durability. Traditional enameling is usually based on gold and silver and combines glassy enamel with metal through high temperature firing to create a strong and beautiful surface. However, traditional processes have limitations in producing complex structures and high-precision details, and the long production cycle and high cost make it difficult to meet the demand for personalization and efficient production in modern design. In recent years, with the rapid development of 3D printing technology, especially the maturity of metal 3D printing technology, with its high efficiency, precision and flexibility, it provides new possibilities for the innovation of enameling process and revolutionizes the design and production of enameling process. The aim of this study is to explore the process feasibility of combining 3D printed metal substrate with enamel glaze, and to analyze the possibility of combining brass, white copper and purple copper with enamel glaze firing and the influence of the firing effect by 3D printing three kinds of metal materials and combining them with enamel glaze firing experiments to optimize the process parameters and to improve the strength of combining with the aesthetics. Specifically, the study will focus on the following aspects: first, comparative analysis of the surface properties of different 3D printed metal materials and their compatibility with enamel glaze; second, explore the impact of firing process parameters on the strength of the combination of metal and enamel, and optimize the firing conditions in order to reduce the risk of cracking and peeling; finally, through the analysis of the firing data, assess the overall performance of the combination of 3D printed metal substrate and enamel glaze which provides scientific basis for practical application.
