Tin plating

Tin plating involves coating a metal surface, usually steel or copper, with a thin layer of tin. This process enhances the metal's resistance to corrosion, rust, and wear, while also providing a smooth, attractive finish. Tin plating is commonly used in food cans, electrical components, and decorative items because it improves durability and maintains a clean, shiny appearance. The process is achieved through electroplating, where an electric current deposits tin onto the item's surface, creating a protective and functional layer that extends the metal's lifespan and usability.
