GLASS-CERAMIC ITEM AND ENAMEL SUITABLE FOR COATING SAME

The present invention relates to a glass-ceramic article at least partly coated with at least one layer of an enamel formed from a glass frit having the following composition, the proportions being expressed as weight percentages: SiO2 50-66% and preferably 50 < SiO2 65% MgO 3-8% and preferably 3-6% Na2O 7-15% K2O 3% Li2O 3%, in particular 2% CaO 1% BaO >0-15% and preferably 5-15% Al2O3 3-20% and preferably 3 < Al2O3 < 20% ZrO2 0-4%, preferably 0 < ZrO2 < 4%, in particular 0.5-2% ZnO >0-5% B2O3 >0-6% and preferably 0 < B2O3 5% the sum of the alkaline-earth metal oxides CaO+BaO moreover being between 8 and 15%, and the sum of the alkali metal oxides Na2O+K2O+Li2O moreover being between 7 and 20%. The invention also relates to the reinforced glass-ceramics obtained.
