What is the element Tin used for and in what things?

Answer 1

Tin bonds readily to iron, and has been used for coating lead or zinc and steel to prevent corrosion. Tin-plated steel containers are widely used for food preservation, and this forms a large part of the market for metallic tin. Speakers of British English call them "tins"; Americans call them "cans" or "tin cans". One thus-derived use of the slang term "tinnie" or "tinny" means "can of beer". The tin whistle is so called because it was first mass-produced in tin-plated steel.

Other uses:

Some important tin alloys are: bronze, bell metal, Babbitt metal, die casting alloy, pewter, phosphor bronze, soft solder, and White metal.
The most important salt formed is stannous chloride, which has found use as a reducing agent and as a mordant in the calico printing process. Electrically conductive coatings are produced when tin salts are sprayed onto glass. These coatings have been used in panel lighting and in the production of frost-free windshields.
Most metal pipes in a pipe organ are made of varying amounts of a tin/lead alloy, with 50% / 50% being the most common. When this alloy cools, the lead cools slightly faster and makes a mottled or spotted effect. This metal alloy is refered to as spotted metal.
Window glass is most often made via floating molten glass on top of molten tin (creating float glass) in order to make a flat surface (this is called the "Pilkington process").
Tin is one of the two basic elements used since the Rennaisance in the manufacture of organ pipes (the other being lead). The amount of tin in the pipe defines the pipe's tone, tin being the most tonally resonant of all metals.
Tin is also used in solders for joining pipes or electric circuits, in bearing alloys, in glass-making, and in a wide range of tin chemical applications. Although of higher melting point than a lead-tin alloy, the use of pure tin or tin alloyed with other metals in these applications is rapidly supplanting the use of the previously common lead–containing alloys in order to eliminate the problems of toxicity caused by lead.
Tin foil was once a common wrapping material for foods and drugs; replaced in 1910 by the use of aluminium foil, which is now commonly referred to as tin foil. Hence one use of the slang term "tinnie" or "tinny" for a small retail package of a drug such as cannabis or for a can of beer.
Tin becomes a superconductor below 3.72 K. In fact, tin was one of the first superconductors to be studied; the Meissner effect, one of the characteristic features of superconductors, was first discovered in superconducting tin crystals. The niobium-tin compound Nb3Sn is commercially used as wires for superconducting magnets, due to the material's high critical temperature (18 K) and critical magnetic field (25 T). A superconducting magnet weighing only a couple of kilograms is capable of producing magnetic fields comparable to a conventional electromagnet weighing tons.

I'm not sure right off, but look into "BBabbitt" babbit is bearing material used from Simply your car engine to huge power plants and industrial machinery. Tinnig was also the pprosesof bonding metals together in olden days.Kind of used like soldering or brazing.Tin was melted between two metals and then once cooled, bonded the metals together. Soldering uses tin in moder days for the same thing.Solder is a mixture of tin and lead. the mixture varies depending on the use.Obviously,lead mixed solder is not allowed in soldering drinking water pipes.

Answer 5

tin is used in manufacturing canned goods and anything that is preserved in a can.

Answer 6

i know of a couple things.......you can take tin and mix it with copper to get brass.......pure tin is safe to cook with and drink from......also you can melt tin down into a liquid and i apply it to the out side of copper(this takes a special technique which im proud to say i know how to do)to make a copper cup safe to drink out of..........

Answer 7

it was used in the writing of "The Adventure of Tin Tin"
