Electrolytic Tin Free Steel (TFS)

Steelhighsen Electrolytic Tin Free Steel: Excellent Corrosion Resistance for Packaging and Protective Applications

At Steelhighsen, we provide electrolytic tin free steel that is engineered for applications where corrosion resistance, formability, and durability are critical. One of the standout features of electrolytic tin free steel is its exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for industries such as food packaging, beverage containers, and automotive components.


Key Feature: Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion resistance is a crucial factor in many industrial applications, especially when the steel is exposed to moisture, chemicals, or harsh environmental conditions. Electrolytic tin free steel is a highly durable material that is designed specifically to resist corrosion while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.

Advanced Coating Technology: The unique feature of Steelhighsen’s electrolytic tin free steel is its coating technology. ETFS is produced by an electrolytic process where a thin layer of chromium or chromium alloy is deposited on the steel surface. This coating provides a highly effective barrier against rust, moisture, and other corrosive elements, significantly extending the life of the steel and ensuring that it remains strong and durable, even under harsh conditions.

Enhanced Resistance to Chemicals and Moisture: ETFS is particularly resistant to chemicals, water, and salt, making it ideal for industries that deal with food and beverage packaging, as well as for automotive applications where steel is frequently exposed to moisture, oils, and other corrosive substances. The coating is much more effective at preventing corrosion compared to traditional tin-plated steel, which is more prone to rusting and degradation over time.

Non-Toxic and Environmentally Friendly: Unlike traditional tin-plated steel, electrolytic tin free steel does not use tin, which is a non-renewable resource and can be harmful to the environment if not recycled properly. The chromium-based coating in ETFS is environmentally friendly and allows for better recyclability of the material, aligning with sustainability goals in various industries.


Applications of Electrolytic Tin Free Steel

Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, Steelhighsen’s electrolytic tin free steel is widely used across several key industries:

Food and Beverage Packaging: ETFS is commonly used in the production of cans for food and beverages, especially in products like soda cans, fruit and vegetable cans, and packaged foods. Its corrosion resistance ensures that the product remains safe for consumption and retains its quality even when exposed to acidic or wet contents for extended periods.

Automotive Industry: Electrolytic Tin Free Steel is also used for manufacturing components in the automotive sector, including parts that are exposed to chemicals, oils, and moisture. This includes automotive fuel tanks, parts of exhaust systems, and other critical automotive body components that require high resistance to corrosion and long-term durability.

Household and Consumer Goods: ETFS is used in the production of items like appliances, roofing materials, and steel drums. It is also commonly used in manufacturing protective coatings for tools and equipment, providing a durable, long-lasting surface that resists wear and corrosion.

Industrial Applications: In industrial sectors where steel is frequently exposed to environmental stress, Electrolytic Tin Free Steel is used for parts and containers that need to resist rust and corrosion over extended periods.
