Tinplate

Tinplate is a thin steel sheet coated with tin (Sn) metal. The thin steel sheet on which tin coating is done is known as black plate. Low carbon steel with carbon well below 0.1 % is normally used for tinplate production. 

Tin coating is applied either by hot dipping or electrolytic coating process. Both processes produce coatings which have characteristics of their own. Hot dip tin coating has advantages in being metallurgically bonded to base steel and of producing a smooth bright surface. Electrolytic coating process is able to produce a uniform coating of controlled thickness.
