Tinplate
text:
Tinplate consists of sheets of steel coated with a thin layer of tin to impede rusting. Before the advent of cheap mild steel, the backing metal was wrought iron. While once more widely used, the primary use of tinplate now is the manufacture of tin cans. In the tinning process, tinplate is made by rolling the steel in a rolling mill, removing any mill scale by pickling it in acid and then coating it with a thin layer of tin. Plates were once produced individually in what became known as a pack
