Question

give 2 uses of tin platting in daily life

Answer 1

Tin plating is the process of coating metals such as iron and steel with tin to create a lightweight, corrosion-resistant finish. The end product, called tinplate, is “highly suitable for roofing (and walling) material.” Terneplate is similar to tinplate, but refers to iron or steel that that’s been coated with tin as well as lead for added durability.

Tin’s resistance to corrosion is what makes it important for tin plating, and the process has a long history — it was first employed in the early 1800s, when tin-plated cans were created for preserving food. More recently, tinplate accounted for 17 percent of tin consumption in 2011. That’s a sizable chunk, but well behind the amount used in solder.
