Tin Plating

ASTM B545 Classes A-B-C-D-E

Tin plating is an industrial process that involves coating metal objects with a thin layer of tin. This technique can be applied to many types of base metal, such as steel, iron and copper. Tinning improves the electrical contact and appearance of these metals. It also helps increase their oxidation performance.

Main uses

  • This process is widely used in the electronics and electrical sectors.

Types of treatable metals

  • Steel 
  • Copper

Advantages and benefits

  • Increasing corrosion resistance and improving electrical contact.
