The element tin produced by the tin smelter from the tin-rich ore is in the form of tin ingots. As the basic raw material for all tin deep processing, pure tin ingot has a wide range of applications in food, machinery, electrical appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and other industrial sectors.
Tin ingots are a commodity tin cast into ingots that have been partially refined but still contain small amounts of various impurities (such as copper, lead, iron, or arsenic). It is a solid tin different from tin plate. It can be used as a coating material with a wide range of applications in food, machinery, electrical appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and other industrial sectors.
The supplier's technical supervision department inspects the tin ingots to ensure that the product quality meets the requirements of this standard and fills out the quality certificate.
The buyer can inspect and accept the tin ingots received according to the requirements of this standard. If the inspection results do not meet the requirements of this standard (or the purchase contract), the buyer should raise the objection to the supplier within two months from the date of receipt. The supplier and the buyer should negotiate to resolve the issue. If arbitration is needed, it will be jointly conducted by the supplier and the buyer or by an inspection agency recognized by both parties.
Tin ingots can be used as coating materials with a wide range of refractory metal products applications in food, machinery, electrical appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and other industrial sectors. In float glass production, molten glass is floated on the surface of molten tin pool to cool and solidify.
Tin easily combines with iron, and it is used as a corrosion-resistant layer for lead, zinc, and steel. Tin-plated steel cans are widely used to store food, which is an important market for metallic tin.
Other uses
Tin is a component of some important alloys such as lead-tin alloy, bronze, Babbitt alloy, and so on.
Tin chloride is used as a reducing agent and mordant in printing technology. Tin salt sprayed on glass can form a conductive coating, which is used on defrosting glass.
Ordinary glass plates are formed by pouring molten glass onto tin plates to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the glass surface.
Welding tin containing tin is used to connect pipes and electronic circuits. In addition, tin is used in various chemical reactions.
Tin foil is commonly used to package food or medicine.
Manufacturing tinplate (tinplate), which can prevent rust and make can containers.
Organic tin can be used as a reagent for synthesizing organic compounds, including reducing functional groups, causing free radicals, and causing organic moieties to rearrange.
Pure tin ingots have a peculiar property: when a tin rod or tin plate is bent, it emits a special cracking sound that seems like a cry. This sound is caused by friction between crystals. When crystals deform, such friction occurs. Interestingly, if an alloy of tin is used, there will be no such crying sound when deformed. Therefore, people often use this feature of tin to identify whether a piece of metal is tin or not.
