A. Tin and Tin-Lead deposits can be produced either electroplating or by hot dipping in molten metal. Electroplated deposits provide the advantage of uniform, reproducible coatings in the desired or specified thickness. The electroplating process, however, is used extensively for the continuous strip coating of steel product. On certain base metals, tin and tin lead deposits can also be produced by immersion deposition, but the deposits are relatively thin.
