Tin plating (Sn) is often used for electric and electronic components by its good soldering properties.
In addition, because of its excellent sliding characteristic, it is also used for surface treatment of engine pistons. Since the tin plating (Sn) film is flexible, it is easily deformed depend on the strength.
Therefore, it is often used for bending after plating and for contact parts such as crimp terminals to fill the gaps during crimping.
Tin also has self-lubricating properties due to its softness.
By applying soft tin plating (Sn) on a hard material, it reduce the frictional force, which is effective in improving the slipperiness of sliding parts.
It is also widely used as a solder substitute for soldering.
Conventional solder is an alloy of tin and lead, but due to environmental regulation, it is difficult to use lead anymore.
Therefore, tin plating (Sn) is attracting attention as a lead-free soldering method.
