    This is a good and reliable internet site : 

    http://www.enamellers.nl/technieken.php?l=uk 

    The basis for enameling depends I would say more on the properties
    of glass than the metals so first study a bit on the history and
    properties of glass. A related area is glass fusing a reference site
    is: 

    http://www.warmglass.com/basic.htm 

    Also study ceramics - particularly glazes. 

    Metals are included in glasses to provide special properties. Lead
    for example makes a low melting point very fluid glass with a wide
    temperature range but lead is considered potential a health hazard
    and is undesirable in most modern glasses. Other elements are used to
    provide color primarily. 

    see:

    http://www.glass.co.nz/Wmf.htm 

    Web surfing can lead you to "recognized" references which you will
    need for an academic work. Work in a bigger box. 

Have fun. jesse
