A nickel or copper underplate prior to tin plating will minimize migration of alloying metals such as zinc from the substrate into the tin deposit in applications such as switchgear, terminal spades or fuse caps. For critical defense or aerospace applications, codeposited lead \u2013 commonly referred to as solder deposits \u2013 can be provided to enhance wetting during soldering and minimize the potential for whisker growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\"><strong>Tin Plating Services \u2013 Matte vs Bright Tin Plating<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">Tin plating can be broken up into two primary categories: Bright tin and matte (solderable) tin. Both deposits are electrolytically applied. Bright tin plating has a high degree of luster and is commonly preferred for electrical contact applications such as bus bars, terminals and switching components that are not soldered. If bright tin plating is soldered, the codeposited organics in the deposit can burn, resulting in a dewetting of the solder and a visible charring of the solder joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">For solderable applications matte (solderable) tin plating services are recommended, as the deposit is free of the codeposited brighteners found in bright tin plating. For substrates alloyed with zinc (such as brass alloys) it is generally recommended to apply a diffusion barrier of\u00a0<a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/electrolytic-plating\/nickel-plating-services\/\">nickel plating<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/electrolytic-plating\/copper-plating-services\/\">copper plating<\/a>\u00a0to prevent zinc migration into the tin deposit and resultant intermetallic formation. Artistic recommends the use of an unbrightened nickel deposit such as\u00a0<a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/electrolytic-plating\/sulfamate-nickel-plating-services-2\/\">sulfamate nickel<\/a>\u00a0as a diffusion barrier as it affords an excellent solder base for soldering applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">It is important to note that solderability of tin plated products\u00a0is a perishable attribute that has a finite life. APT engineers can collaborate with your company to help extend the soldering life of products by properly specifying the deposit, preparing the substrate and properly packaging the plated components.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7379&#8243;

It has good conductivity and corrosion resistance while enhancing solderability of substrates that are not otherwise easily soldered to. Tin is typically considered non-toxic and non-carcinogenic and as such its use is generally approved for food contact applications. Tin\u2019s use can be traced back to 3000 BC when it was first alloyed with copper to make bronze weapons, flatware and other functional products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">Tin is a post-transition metal and is the 49<sup>th<\/sup> most abundant element on earth with ten stable isotopes. Tin has two primary allotropes, 1) beta tin (\u03b2-tin) which is the silvery-white, ductile metal that most people associate with tin and 2) alpha tin (\u03b1-tin) which is a less dense grey and powdery metal that tin can transition to at very low temperatures (referred to as tin\/pest).\u00a0 Tin deposits have a unique stress-relief mechanism of growing filiform whiskers from the surface that can cause short circuits in electronic applications. Whiskers can be mitigated by plating a tin alloy such as tin\/lead, using matte deposits and annealing tin deposits.

line-height: 1em;\">Tin Plating Services \u2013 Tin Plating Properties<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 14px;\">Tin is a soft, ductile, silvery-white metal that is not easily oxidized in air. It has good conductivity and corrosion resistance while enhancing solderability of substrates that are not otherwise easily soldered to. Tin is generally considered non-toxic and non-carcinogenic and as such its use is generally approved for food contact applications. Tin\u2019s use can be traced back to 3000 BC when it was first alloyed with copper to make bronze weapons and products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 14px;\">Tin plating services can be broken up into two primary categories: Bright tin and matte (solderable) tin. Both deposits are electrolytically applied. Bright tin plating has a high degree of luster and is generally preferred for electrical contact applications such as bus bars, terminals and switching components that are not soldered to. If bright tin plating is soldered, the codeposited organics in the deposit can burn, resulting in a dewetting of the solder and a visible charring of the solder joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 14px;\">For solderable applications matte (solderable) tin plating services are recommended, as the deposit is free of the codeposited brighteners found in bright tin plating. For substrates alloyed with zinc (such as brass alloys) it is generally recommended to apply a diffusion barrier of <a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/electrolytic-plating\/nickel-plating-services\/\">nickel plating<\/a> or <a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/electrolytic-plating\/copper-plating-services\/\">copper plating<\/a> to prevent zinc migration into the tin deposit and resultant intermetallic formation. Artistic recommends the use of an unbrightened nickel deposit such as <a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/electrolytic-plating\/sulfamate-nickel-plating-services\/\">sulfamate nickel<\/a> as a diffusion barrier as it affords an excellent solder base for soldering applications.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;
