Tin Ingot

Description

Tin alloys can also be found in a wide variety of other applications, including Babbitt bearings (often alloyed with copper, lead or antimony), automobile parts (alloyed with iron), dental amalgams (alloyed with silver) and aerospace metals (alloyed with aluminum and titanium). Alloys of zirconium (often referred to as Zircaloys), used in nuclear reactors, also often contain a small amount of tin.

Application

Metal tin is mainly used in the manufacture of alloys.
Tin and sulfur compounds - tin sulfide, which is similar in color to gold, is commonly used as a gold pigment.
Tin's modern application is as a solder for the electronics industry. Used in various purities and alloys (often with lead or indium), tin solders have a low melting point, which makes them suitable for bonding materials.
