Abstract

THE coating of a sheet of steel with tin is known today as tin plating. Tin plate was first manufactured by the hot-dip process started by the Welsh several hundred years ago. Early attempts were crude and largely manual. A sheet of steel of appropriate thickness and dimension was dipped in a molten bath of tin. Tinning was preceded by suitable fluxing and cleaning so as to produce a bright metallic, homogeneous coating.
