Abstract
IN the manufacture of electrolytic tinplate, a tin coating is electro-deposited directly on to steel. The plated strip is then heated to above the melting point of tin (232° C) and quenched in water. During this treatment cycle a layer of the intermetallic compound FeSn2 (about 0.15µ thick) is formed at the steel–tin interface1.
