The Electrodeposition of Tin & its Alloys

By Dr Manfred Jordan
Hdbk, pp 406
Price £65 / US$110 / Euro 110

Easily the most comprehensive book on the subject, it covers historical aspects, global market statistics and use patterns, basic principles of tin plating. The various electrolyte types are covered in great depth incl. chemical and electrochemical reactions occurring.
The properties of tin deposits incl. corrosion resistance and its protection of commonly used substrates. A wide range of test procedures are detailed. The effects of solution additives is explained.
Electroless tin deposition and tin alloy plating are exhaustively treated, incl. lead-tin (solder) and tin-nickel and most other tin-containing alloys capable of being electrodeposited. Whisker formation and tin pest are explained. Post-treatment (passivation) of tin is reported. A section on intermetallic compounds is included as also one on solderability.
The tin-plate industry receives extensive coverage with details of plant construction & design and tinplate performance. Also included are sections on relevant standards, analysis of tin baths, effluent treatment, stripping of tin-containing coatings and the wide range of applications for tin alloy coatings such as terne-plate, electronics applications.
Hundreds of Figures & line drawings, and many hundreds of references make this the essential information source for everyone involved with tin or tin-containing coatings, their deposition, properties and uses.
