TIN CANS

• TIN CANS

  Are made from steel used for storing and preserving various foods.
• TIN CANS | PROCESS

  1. THE RAW MATERIALS - These are needed to make tin cans. Primarily made from STEEL or ALUMINUM. These materials are chosen for their strength, malleability, and resistance to corrosion.

  2. DEGREASING - Before the metal can be shaped, this stage involves the removal of oils, grease, and other contaminants.
• TIN CANS | PROCESS

  3. ELECTROLYSIS - So, in the case of tinplate, this is used to apply a thin layer of tin onto the steel. The tin layer acts as a barrier to prevent steel from rusting and safety for storage.

  • 4) FORMING - The process of making tin cans refers to shaping the metal into a cylindrical shape that will become the body of the can. Process of drawing and ironing for two-piece cans.
• TIN CANS | PROCESS

  • 5) STERILIZATIONThe process of making tin cans are crucial to ensure safety and longevity of the food products.

  • 6) SEALING - Final step wherein that ensures the can is completely airtight, keeping the contents safe and fresh.

  ATOMIC STRUCTURE

  -Tin is a with the symbol Sn and atomic number 50.
• TIN CANS | STRUCTURE

  At the macroscopic level, tin cans are containers made of tinplate, which is a thin sheet of tin-coated steel. These cans are commonly used for packaging and storing food and beverages.
• TIN CANS | STRUCTURE

  The macroscopic structure of tin cans includes the tinplate material, the shape and size of the can, and the manufacturing process used to produce them.
• TIN CANS | STRUCTURE

  At the microscopic level, the atomic structure of tin involves the arrangement of its subatomic particles. Tin atoms have a total of 50 electrons, arranged in atomic orbitals according to the quantum mechanical model of the atom. The atomic structure of tin is similar to that of other elements in Group 14 of the periodic table.
