How TFS (Tin-Free Steel) is made
Base plate is electrolytically coated with chromium and chromium oxide instead of tin.
- 1Base plate
The same cold-reduced black plate used for tinplate feeds the line.
- 2Electrolytic chromium coating
A metallic chromium and chromium-oxide film is deposited, giving excellent lacquer adhesion.
- 3Lacquering
Because the surface is designed to be coated, TFS is normally lacquered before forming.
