### element | metal:

Tin
* Most tin is used as a protective coating or as an alloy with other metals such as lead or zinc.
* TiN coated tools have a tendency to gall in Titanium and Titanium alloys.
* TiN is gold-colored
  - used as a decorative thin film coating, but also has good wear characteristics
  - looks similar to gold or polished brass
* are useful because they provide better surface representations than DEMs.
* belong the same chemical group of carbon and somewhat similar to required properties.
* brittle ore by itself.
* can be highly polished and is used as a protective coat for other metals
  - bird traps are especially useful for quail and grouse
  - exist in solution as a couple of different ionic species
  - form many oxides, sulfides, and other chalcogenide derivatives
  - make an alloy with copper called bronze
  - stand quite a bit of heat before it melts or evaporates
* come in blue, red, and green.
* conducts electricity.
* crystalline silvery-white metal.
* exists in three allotropic forms
  - two allotropes, white and gray tin
* full-screen Usenet reader.
* has more non-radioactive isotopes than any other element.
* has two allotropic forms
* includes atoms.
* is amalleable , ductile, and highly crystaline silvery-white metal.
* is an experimental tumorigen
  - industrial coating process that adds hardness and durability to cutting tools
  - orange or peach color with an almond lid
  - below iron in the reactivity series
  - caustic to the skin
  - comparatively easy to reduce to metal form oxide by pyrometallurgy
  - expensive compared to lead, so lead alloys are cheaper
  - found associated with copper and, like zinc, it has a low melting point
  - harder than lead but softer than zinc
  - however one of the most probable metals to form corrosion products
  - important in the production of the common alloys bronz e, solder, and type metal
  - incredibly hard and molecularly bonds with the part
  - made by heating cassiterite with carbon in a furnace
  - mined mainly in South-East Asia and copper in Japan, the Philippines, and eastern Australia
  - obtained by reducing the ore with coal in a reverberatory furnace
  - present in some bronze alloys and solders
  - produced by carbothermic reduction of the oxide ore with carbon or coke
  - relatively unaffected by both water and oxygen at room temperatures
* is remarkably lighter than the lead it resembles, which can be surprising when it is hefted
  - resistant to corrosion under atmospheric condition
  - sometimes a by-product of mineral sand production
* is used as one component in bell metals
  - for food packaging and electronic circuits
* is used in many alloys
* is used to coat several metals, like lead and steel
  - form many useful alloys
  - make cans
  - protect food and beverage flavors and to prevent rusting
* is very precious like gold and silver
  - soft and malleable and is very sensitive to superficial dirt cutting
* malleable silvery-white metal which takes a high polish.
* metal which resists rusting and corrosion
  - with a high conductivity
* natural element in the earth's crust.
* occurs in both primary and secondary deposits.
* plated steel containers are used to store foods.
* popular alloying agent used in the manufacture of solders for electronic components.
* questionable carcinogen with tumorigenic data by implant route.
* reacts with hydrochloric acid to form stannous chloride.
* reduces susceptibility of the high zinc brass to dezincification.
* relatively valuable metal, considerably more costly then copper, aluminium, lead or zinc.
* represents data as functional surfaces.
* silver, somewhat soft metal.
* silvery, blue-white metal that is ductile, solderable, and covers very well.
* silvery-white metal with a blueish tinge.
* soft, malleable , ductile and highly crystalline silvery-white metal
  - pliable, silvery-white metal
* widely sought metal and is used in hundreds of industrial processes throughout the world.
+ Cornwall
  * Since early times Cornwall has been an important area for the mining of tin. Tin is no longer mined but china clay is still an important industry. Bodmin Moor is the largest and highest of the granite moors of Cornwall. The climate is generally mild, with much frontal rain. The varied scenery and historical monuments attract many tourists to Cornwall.
+ Tin, Preparation
  * Tin is made by heating cassiterite with carbon in a furnace. China is the biggest maker of tin
  - Properties, Physical properties: Chemical elements :: Metals
  * Tin is a silver, somewhat soft metal. It is a post-transition metal. It can melt easily in a flame. It is malleable. It makes a crackling sound called tin cry when a piece of it is bent. Tin has more non-radioactive isotopes than any other element.
  * Tin can be hardened by adding antimony or copper, as well as some other elements. These also make it resistant to tin pest. Tin can also be made very shiny. Tin can make an alloy with copper called bronze
  * Tin is used in solder. Solder used to contain a mixture of lead and tin. Now the lead is removed because of its toxicity.
  * Tin is also used to make pewter, which is mainly tin mixed with a small amount of copper and other metals. Babbitt metal also has tin in it. Tin is used to coat several metals, like lead and steel. Tin plated steel containers are used to store foods. The pipes on a pipe organ are made of tin. Tin foil was used before aluminium foil. Tin was one of the first superconductors to be found. Organotin compounds are more common than almost any other organometal compound.
