Abstract
The successful introduction of electro‐tinplate as a war‐time substitute for hot dipped plate is a significant contribution of the electrochemist. It is not practical to apply tin coatings by hot dipping that are less than 1.25 lb./base box (0.000075 in. or 1.9 μ thick). Plate bearing a 0.5 lb./base box electrolytic tin coating (0.00003 in. or 0.75 μ thick), inside‐ and outside‐enameled, is therefore being substituted for many food products. This results in a substantial saving of tin. Numerous corrosion tests are tabulated. After the war it is expected that the 0.5 lb./base box electrolytic plate will be used for non‐processed products and that heavier coatings of tin will be applied for the processed food products.
