1. The experimental data should attract the attention of designers of chemical plant, including developers of glass-enamel protective coatings as well as users operating this type of equipment in specific chemical-technology processes, to the need for a complex and, in each specific case, correct approach to solving problems of corrosion protection of metals. Compulsory (testing) tests of the GEM to be used for operation under alternating temperature and force conditions should be represented by tests of these composites in cyclic creep and thermal shock in the expected range of service temperatures and pressures. 2. An increase of the fracture toughness Glc of the glass-enamel coatings by, for example, reinforcing their glass matrix greatly reduces the probability of the failure of GEC during service. It is most efficient to reinforce these coatings at densities of critical defectsρS ≤ 3.
