Research on the Corrosion Resistance of Tinplate with Reflowing Technology

Abstract:

Reflowing technology was used to further improve the corrosion resistance of tinplate. Through one-factor experiment, the effects of heating power, heating time, quenching water temperature on the corrosion resistance of tinplate were investigated. The results showed that heating power and time of reflowing had effects on the corrosion resistance of tinplate; The corrosion area of tin layer surface was gradually reduced with the decrease of quenching water temperature, and its corrosion resistance was enhanced. The optimum process was determined as follows: heating power is 410W, heating time is 9s, and the range of quenching water temperature is from 30°C to 50 °C.
