Tin Free Steel

Steel

Tin-free steel is a chromium-coated, corrosion-resistant steel which, like tinplate, is used for food and other packaging applications. The coating is applied to a cold-rolled, low-carbon steel coil in a continuous electrolytic process using chromic acid. The result is a very thin layer of chromium and chromium oxide.
