TIN PLATING SERVICES

TIN

Our tin plating services provide either a bright silver finish or a matte finish for many different applications.

Electrodeposited coatings of tin are used to provide a low contact-resistance surface, protect against corrosion, facilitate soldering, provide anti-galling properties and be a stop-off coating in the nitriding of high-strength steels.

Finish and Processing Options

Barrel Electroplated Tin Coatings

Tin electroplating can be deposited on a wide variety of metal substrates including iron, steel, nickel, copper, and their alloys.

Our electroplated tin coating provides a surface finish that is resistant to tarnishing and corrosion in indoor applications. Some corrosion can be expected from tin coatings exposed outdoors. It is a non-toxic, 100% solderable, ductile and electrically conductive coating. Our bright deposits are smooth and mirror like while our matte deposits are flat and white to gray in appearance.

Tin coatings are not well-suited for low temperature applications particularly below -40o C which can lead to loss of adhesion. Tin plating is used in a wide range of electronic and automotive applications. Northeast Metal Works can accommodate the full range of minimum thickness requirements for Class A through E applications.
