About Tin Electroplating
Tin Electroplating Services
Tin is a cost-effective metal offering corrosion protection, solderability, and contact resistance, making it suitable for electroplating. Titan Plating offers specialised tin electroplating services, delivering high-quality coatings with a focus on fast turnaround to meet your project deadlines. Our processes enhance component performance across industries.
Tin in Electroplating
Tin is a post-transition metal known for its ductility, non-toxicity, and low cost, providing protective coatings in electroplating. Alloys with nickel, cobalt, zinc, lead, or silver improve hardness, corrosion resistance, or solderability. Obtained from mining, tin offers an economical alternative for durable finishes.
Benefits of Tin Electroplating
Tin electroplating offers several advantages:
-
Corrosion Protection: Shields against environmental degradation.
-
Solderability: High level ensures reliable joining.
-
Contact Resistance: Good for electrical connections.
-
Ductility: Flexible coatings suit various shapes.
-
Non-Toxicity: Safe for food-related uses.
Applications of Tin Electroplating
Tin electroplating is used in various applications:
-
Food Equipment: Coats cookware and fast food machinery for safety and corrosion resistance.
-
Electronics: Preserves solderability in components.
-
Solar Power: Enhances housing and energy systems.
-
Alloys for Specific Needs: Tin-nickel for hardness, tin-zinc for corrosion.

Tin Electroplating Process
Titan Plating employs precise electroplating methods for tin, with pre-plating to improve longevity. The substrate is cleaned and immersed in a tin electrolyte, with current depositing the coating. Alloys modify properties. Whisker formation is mitigated by crystal structure adjustments. Our fast-turnaround ensures quality.
