Tin plating is ideal for its properties of electrical conductivity and solderability. The final product in plated condition will possess a gray-white color and a very high luster in fused condition. Tin plating produces a soft, but very ductile surface and displays good corrosion resistance. (Coated items should meet 24 hour 5% salt spray requirement).

We do not recommend Tin for low temperature applications as it changes structure and loses adhesion when exposed to temperatures below -40º C.

We plate directly on steel substance (no undercoating for steel unless otherwise specified).

Type I -	As specified on drawing. Thickness guide (not part of spec.) as follows:
	Electrodeposited. Use ASTM-B-545 as guideline. If not specified, bright will be generally provided Please note: This specification is provided for reference purposes only as it has been superceded by ASTM-B-545 (See below).
	.0001-.00025"	Flash for soldering
	.0002-.0004"	To prevent galling and seizing.
	.0003 min.	Where corrosion resistance is important
	.0002-.0006"	To prevent formation of case hardening during nitriding.
Type II	-----------------	Hot dipped (not currently available at MAF)

Types are matte, bright, or flow-brightened
Class A -	.0001" min
Class B -	.0002" min
Class C -	.00032" min	.0004" min. for steel.
Class D -	.0006" min	.0008" min. for steel.
Class E -	.0012" min	ASTM requires purchaser to supply information, such as base metal, under plating, test requirements and test methods etc. In general, copper alloys containing more than 5% Zn shall have a copper undercoating of at least 0.0001" or nickel undercoating of at least 0.000050". This specification applies to electroplated coatings of not less than 99% tin (except where deliberately alloyed with lead per customer drawings and/or P.O requirements). Tin 88-98%, remainder lead.
