Tin Mill Products

Tin Plate

• Steel that is coated with commercially pure tin.
• Benefits/Uses: The surface finish of tin plate can either be shiny or matte, making it ideal to serve as a base for decorative coating. It is ideal for things such as tin can bodies (for example food and beverage cans), and can also be used for aerosol cans and paint containers, just to name a few.

Black Plate

• Light gauge bare steel from which all other tin mill products are made.
• Benefits/Uses: Black plate on the other hand is extremely durable, and although it can be converted to tin plate and TFS, in its original state it can be used, because of its strength, for things like metal roofing and shelves, and it is also a good surface for coatings.

Tin-Free Steel (TFS)

• Black plate that has been plated with metallic chromium and chromium oxides to enhance corrosion resistance.
• Benefits/Uses: TFS, like the definition states, is plated black plate and it is usually used for things like ends on cans and food container bodies because of its great acceptance of coatings.

Flat-Rolled Sheet Products

Galvanized Steel

• Steel that has gone through a chemical process, covering it in zinc, to keep it from corroding.
• Benefits/Uses: Because this steel won’t rust it is essential to use on outdoor, marine, and industrial applications.

Hot Rolled Steel

• Steel that is brought to its final thickness by rolling it on a high temperature hot-rolling facility.
• Benefits/Uses: Used for high strength, less critical applications such as guard rails.

Cold Rolled Steel

• Flat rolled steel that has its final thickness determined by being rolled at room temperature.
• Benefits/Uses: Cold Rolled Steel on the other hand is usually used for painted applications.
