Tin

Tin is a non-ferrous material and it’s mostly silvery. Its main proprieties are its malleability and ductility. It’s soft, resistant to corrosion but with a low resistance to efforts. Its main applications are two: steel laminates covering (can, tin) and soldering. Tin has also different alloys: bronze (with copper), soldering (lead), with bismuth and antimony, and it’s used mostly for electrical fuse blew and antifriction materials. As tin has a really low fusion temperature it’s easy to malleable and so make pieces in difficult shapes.
