Tin Scrap
TIN SCRAP
As with many metals, pure tin is too weak to be used alone for most mechanical applications. It is often alloyed with elements such as copper, antimony, lead, aluminum and zinc to improve mechanical or physical properties.
It is commonly used as a coating for other metals such as tin cans, copper cooking utensils. Other applications include die-casting alloys, pewter chemicals, bronze, bearing alloys and solder.
Tin is also used in bronze, pewter, and bearing alloy.
Tin Properties: silvery-white, non-toxic, soft; normally used by plating it onto other metals such as mild steel (tinplate) Uses: food cans, plating on copper tracks of printed circuit boards.
