These materials are chosen for their durability, ability to be recycled, and cost-effectiveness.
How tin cans coating prevent the iron from rusting when the coating is ruptured the rusting process usually occurs even faster than it would on uncoated iron why?
Tin cans are coated with a layer of tin to prevent rusting of the underlying iron. When the coating is ruptured, the exposed iron is more susceptible to rusting due to the break in the protective barrier. The rusting process accelerates because the exposed iron is in direct contact with moisture and oxygen, which are necessary for rust formation.
Why do you still call steel cans tin cans?
No cans currently in wide use are composed primarily or wholly of tin; that term rather reflects the nearly exclusive use in cans, until the second half of the 20th century, of tinplate steel, which combined the physical strength and relatively low price of steel with the corrosion resistance of tin. Most cans are made from either aluminium or tinplate steel. For the most part, however, it is really a case of old habits die hard. It is just something which has stuck in the modern vernacular.
