Tin is a metal. Its main use is to create the alloys tin bronze and the two forms of solder.
Obtaining
Tin can be found as cassiterite, either as a shallow surface deposit or a deep vein. Cassiterite deposits can be found in metamorphic and igneous rock layers. Other than being mined, cassiterite nuggets can also be obtained extremely rarely by panning gravel or sand.
Cassiterite on its own can be crushed using a pulverizer and mixed with water in a barrel to produce diluted cassiterite solution, used in dyemaking.
Usage
On its own, tin ingots can be smithed into tin plates, for the sole purpose of crafting decorational riveted tin blocks.
Alloys
Cassiterite nuggets can be mixed with various metals in a crucible to be smelted into ingots of various alloys.
| Alloy | Smelting temperature | Tin % | Other metal % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tin bronze | 950°C | 8-12% | Copper: 88-92% |
| Lead solder | 327°C | 45-55% | Lead: 45-55% |
| Silver solder | 758°C | 50-60% | Silver: 40-50% |
