Product Description

A tin ingot is a type of commercial tin cast into ingots that is partially refined but also contains small amounts of different impurities (such as copper, lead, iron, or arsenic) and is a solid tin different from a tin plate. It can be used as a coating material and has a wide range of applications in food, machinery, electrical appliances, automobiles, aerospace and other industrial sectors.
Silver white metal, soft, good ductility. Melting point 232℃, density 7.29g/cm3. non-toxic

Tin is a silvery, soft metal, similar to lead and zinc, but brighter. Its hardness is relatively low, you can cut it with a knife. It has good ductility, especially at the temperature of 100 ° C, it can develop into an extremely thin tin foil, and the thickness can be as thin as 0.04 mm.

Tin is also a low melting point of the metal, its melting point is only 232 ° C, so as long as the candle flame can melt it like mercury as a very good liquid.

Pure tin has a strange property: when the tin rod and tin plate are bent, they make a special cracking sound that sounds like crying. The sound is caused by friction between the crystals. When the crystal deforms, it creates such friction. It is strange that if you change to a tin alloy, when it is deformed, it does not emit this cry. Therefore, people often identify whether a metal is tin or not according to this property of tin.
