Este metal prateado e maleável não oxida-se facilmente em contato com o ar e é usado para cobrir outros metais para prevenir corrosão. A primeira liga usada em larga escala desde 3000 aC foi o bronze, uma liga de estanho e cobre. Nos tempos modernos o estanho é utilizado em muitas ligas, mais comumente em soldas de estanho e chumbo contendo 60% ou mais de estanho. Devido a sua baixa toxicidade, metais banhados com estanho são utilizados como embalagens de alimentos.
This silvery, malleable poor metal is not easily oxidized in air and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. The first alloy used in large scale since 3000 BC was bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. In modern times tin is used in many alloys, most notably tin/lead soft solders, typically containing 60% or more of tin. Because of its low toxicity, tin-plated metal is also used for food packaging.
