3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Tin plating strip
The strip that uses electrochemical principal or physical means to attach a tin metal
layer with uniform thickness on the surface of copper and copper alloy strip.
3.2 Reflow electro-tinning strips; RFSn
After the matt tin plating treatment, the copper and copper alloy strips are subjected to
the reflow surface treatment to form a tin plating strip with tin-layer of a glassy and
smooth surface.
3.3 Hot-dip tinning strips; HDSn
The tin plating strip that make the copper and copper alloy strip to smelt tin through
dipping method; and plate the tin layer with the same thickness on both sides of the
copper and copper alloy strip.
The chemical composition analysis of the base metal of tin plating strip shall be carried
out as per the provisions of GB/T 5121 (all parts) or YS/T 482 or YS/T 483; while the
arbitration shall be carried out as per the provisions of GB/T 5121 (all parts).The
chemical composition analysis of the tin raw material of hot-dip tinning strip shall be
carried out as per the provisions of GB/T 728-2010. The chemical composition analysis
of the tin raw material of reflow electro-tinning strip shall be determined through the
negotiation between the supplier and the purchaser.
5.2 Appearance dimension and its allowable deviation
5.2.1 The tests on the base metal and appearance dimension of tin plating strip shall
be carried out as per the provisions of GB/T 26303.3.
5.2.2 The thickness measurement of tin plating layer shall be carried out as per the
Appendix B.
5.3 Mechanical properties
The tensile test of base metal of tin plating strip shall be carried out as per the
provisions of GB/T 34505-2017; the specimen number shall be P4 in Table 3 of GB/T
34505-2017. The Vickers hardness test shall be carried out as per the provisions of
GB/T 4340.1.
5.4 Electrical properties
The electrical property test of base metal of tin plating strip shall be carried out as per
the provisions of GB/T 351 or GB/T 32791; while the arbitration test shall be carried
out as per the provisions of GB/T 351.
5.5 Weldability
The weldability test of the tin plating strip shall be carried out as per the provisions of
Appendix A.
5.6 Adhesion
