    One very small contribution to this discussion of different metals--
    aluminum can be enamelled. I attended a brief workshop with it years
    ago. I don't remember details-- I know you need to be careful not to
    overheat the aluminum because it melts and, I think, gives off toxic
    fumes, but we used the same enamels as for copper and torch fired
    them. It was funky-looking, and I didn't pursue it. For what it's
    worth!
