Limitations of tin-free steel
Tin free steel has been developed in Japan as an alternative to tinplate for packaging of food products and general line cans. Tin free steel is manufactured by electroplating cold-rolled steel plate with chromic acid.
Like tinplate, tin-free steel has good formability and strength but it is much cheaper than tinplate. Food cans, can ends, trays, bottle caps and closures can all be made from tin-free steel.
