a soft faintly bluish white lustrous low-melting crystalline metallic element that is malleable and ductile at ordinary temperatures and that is used as a protective coating, in tinfoil, and in soft solders and alloys

Tin/zinc alloy coatings (typically 70% tin and 30% zinc) are applied to threaded fasteners to provide a corrosion resistant coating. One of the advantages of such coatings is that bimetallic corrosion will not occur when placed into contact with such metals as aluminium or steel.

A white coloured metal extracted from ore at low temperatures.

A silver white solid. Uses include tinplating, pewter, bronze, packaging and wrapping foil, organ pipes, dental amalgams, chemicals manufacture. Essential life element. Hazards: Eye and skin irritant. Combustible in the form of dust when exposed to heat or by spontaneous chemical reaction with various elements.

Silvery-white metal, harder and less dense than lead. Its principal ore is cassiterite.

inexpensive, fusible, corrosion resistant metal which takes a high polish

a silvery malleable metallic element that resists corrosion; used in many alloys and to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; obtained chiefly from cassiterite where it occurs as tin oxide

metal container for storing dry foods such as tea or flour

airtight sealed metal container for food or drink or paint etc.

prepare (a metal) for soldering or brazing by applying a thin layer of solder to the surface

A highly malleable, silvery metallic element that is not easily oxidized in the air. Tin is used in a number of important alloys, including pewter and bronze. Tin measures 1.5-1.8 on the Mohs hardness scale.

A soft grey metallic element which has occasionally been used for coins, and is also a constituent of bronze which has often been used as a coin alloy, and often wrongly called copper.

A metal with a low melting point; therefore it is often used for solder. It is malleable and resists corrosion. Tin is used to produce tinplate (steel coated with tin) for food packaging. The chemical symbol for tin is Sn and it has a density of 7.3.

A malleable, silvery metallic element which is not easily oxidized in the air, and so is used chiefly to coat iron to protect it from rusting. It is primarily extracted from the ore cassiterite where it is found as an oxide. Tin is malleable at ordinary temperatures, but brittle when heated and is a part of numerous alloys such as soft solder, pewter, type metal, and bronze. It is most commonly used in the form of tin foil with mercury to form the reflective surface of mirrors.

A malleable elemental metal, corrosion resistant, used for sheet application on buildings and as ornament back-up.

Tin is a light grey metal that is easy to handle. In use since the XIIIth century, tin is still used today for crafting utensils and table ware.

Tin is the major metal in the alloy pewter. At somewhere between 91 and 93 percent of the alloy's composition, tin is the reason for pewter's resistance to corrosion, it's softness, and it's ductility. Tin pest. The disintegration of pure tin into powder at very low temperatures as it loses its crystalline structure. Contrary to the statements in some early books on pewter, tin pest never affects pewter which is usually a tin alloy.

When present in steel it is an undesirable impurity which gives rise to temper brittleness. When used as a coating on steel, it has a good resistance to corrosion for many applications.

Metallic element, chemical symbol St (from Latin Stannum). Because of its unstable nature and tendency to oxidise badly when exposed to the atmosphere, it is unsatisfactory as a coinage metal.

A chemical element having symbol Sn, formula weight 118.70, specific gravity 7.31, and melting point 231.85°C.

Metallic element with atomic number of 50. Tin is used in many alloys.

Tin (IPA: ) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sn and atomic number 50. This silvery, malleable poor metal that is not easily oxidized in air and resists corrosion, is found in many alloys and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide.

triangulated irregular network. See digital terrain model -- TIN.

Triangulated irregular network. A surface representation derived from irregularly spaced points and breakline features. Each sample point has an x, y coordinate and a z value or surface value.

See Triangular Irregular Network.

Triangulated Irregular Network. data structure, normally used in connection with terrain modeling, that describes a three-dimensional surface as a series of irregularly shaped triangles.

Triangulated Irregular Network; a variable resolution data structure for surface models, based on a Delaunay triangulation. It is based on a series of non-overlapping triangles which completely cover any surface.

Triangular Irregular Network. A surface representation derived from irregularly spaced sample points and breakline features having surface or z-values. Topological relationships between points and their proximal triangles are included.

A set of Digital Terrain Model (DTM) posts arranged in an arbitrary, non-gridded pattern.
