Tinplates & TFS

Even since its introduction as a packing material for the proceed foods, tinplate has plays an important role in packing industry for over 100 years. Today, various kind of packing materials have been developed and commercialized. However, with an attractive surface finish, excellent corrosion resistance, workability, solderability, printability and paintability, tinplate is still the main stream of food packing materials and popular in numerous applications such as motor oil cans, electric parts, dry cells, stations, toys, etc.

Realizing the potential tinplate enjoys in the packing industry, we diversified into this field, and a computerized, fully automated electrolytic tinning line, planned and built by JFE Steel Corp. on a turnkey basis, was commissioned in 1986. The line employs the Halogen Continuous Electrolytic process which is famous not only for its ability to guarantee the uniformity of tin coating weight but also its ability to run the ultra thin or high temper black plate; besides it is simple to maintain.

  • Manufacturing Process

    We operate the Halogen continuous electric tinning line through a fully computerized control system for non-stop manufacturing which even changes cutting size and selects current chemical treatment, temperature and line speed, besides it automatically inspects and adjusts for malfunction. It's a high-tech production which is an excellent combination of technologies, sophisticated facilities and professional spirits.

    PACKING  
      
    Ton Yi’s packing has been specially developed to guarantee its product during the handling, transportation and warehousing. Tinplate in cut lengths are usually shipped in lots containing 1500 sheets in one skid. The quantity of sheets per package can be modified when required.


    IDENTIFICATION/

    All packages of cut length are attached with labels carrying STEEL GRADE, TEMPER GRADE, FINISH, TIN COATING MASSDIMENSIONS, QUANTITY OF SHEETS , INSPECTION NO, etc.

  • Ton Yi has a multi-purpose plating line producing tinplates, tin free steel and other plated steel which can be packed in both sheets and coils. Its annual capacity is 300 thousand metric tons at speed of 350 mpm. There is a set of scroll-cutting equipment for cutting coil in scrolled sharp, especially for can end pressing

    3. Steel Grade

    Steel Grade

    Characteristics

    MR

    Base steel, low in residual elements, that has high corrosion resistance and is widely used in general applications such as containers.

    L

    Base steel, extremely low in residual elements such as copper(Cu), nickel(Ni), chromium(Cr) and molybdenum(Mo), that has excellent corrosion resistance and is used for containers.

    D

    Aluminium killed base steel used for applications involving deep drawing or other types of severe forming that tend to give rise to Luder's Lines.

    DR-7.5CA

    71±4

    To form the body and cover of the three-piece tin cans.

    DR-8CA

    72±4

    To form the body and cover of the two- and three-piece tin cans. Also, it can form the body of the beverage cans, such as beer and carbonated drink.

    DR-8.5CA

    73±4

    To form the body and cover of the three-piece tin cans.

    DR-9CA

    75±4

    To form the body and cover of the two- and three-piece tin cans. Also, it can form the body of the large cans.

    Remarks:

    1. The suffix CA means continuous-annealing. CA tinplate has superior features due to the greater rigidity, high corrosion resistance and uniformity of mechanical properties and is ideal for speedy can-making.

    2. DR: Base metal produced by double cold reduction process --- the base metal has received a second major cold reduction following annealing. Consequently, it offers greater rigidity and strength than conventional base metals.

    3. Both CA and DR tinplates have the property of mechanical direction. It is necessary to have the rolling direction of tinplate parallel with the con circle.
