Product Description

Tin plate is a flat rolled steel product consisting of a low carbon steel sheet coated on both faces with a thin layer of commercially pure tin. It is a composite material rather than a single compound, so it has no single chemical formula. Its main constituents are the steel base, which provides strength and formability, and the tin coating, which supplies corrosion resistance and a bright appearance. Tin Plate is typically silvery white and lustrous, insoluble in water and resistant to many food acids. It solders readily, accepts printing and lacquers well, and can be drawn into complex shapes. Industrially it serves the packaging, can making, closure and electrical sectors. Its principal end use is food and beverage cans, where it forms the body and end components of the container. It is also used for aerosol containers, crown caps, metal pails, oil cans and battery cases. Industrially, tin plate is commonly produced by electrodeposition of tin onto cold rolled steel strip from an acid tin electrolyte, followed by reflowing of the coating.
