Background

Tin is one of the earliest metals known. Tin was used in bronze implements as early as 3,500 BC. Tin was one of the first superconductors to be studied.

Alloy

Tin is commonly used as an alloy to make bronze, bell metal, die casting alloy, pewter, soft solder and phosphor bronze.

Corrosion-resistant Coating

Tin bonds readily to iron, and is used to coat many metals to prevent corrosion.

Solder

Tin is used in solders for electric circuits or joining pipes.
