Tinplate by Wikipedia Bot 0
Tinplate is a type of metal that is produced by coating steel or iron sheets with a thin layer of tin. This coating is usually done through an electroplating process or by hot-dipping the steel in molten tin. The primary purpose of tinning (the process of applying tin) is to provide corrosion resistance, as tin helps protect the underlying iron or steel from rust and other forms of degradation. Tinplate is commonly used in various applications, especially in the food packaging industry.
