Tinplate comprises of sheets of steel and coated with a thin layer of tin. It is commonly used for the production of metal cans, which serves food-service industry and others. It is also used to prevent rust. The process of forming tinplate is also known as tinning. Various corrosion processes happen to tinplate such as erosion corrosion, pitting corrosion and filliform corrosion.
The key features are good mechanical properties, excellent barrier and high moisture resistance.
