Effect of Sn content on corrosion resistance of iron

The study characterizes the acid corrosion resistance of six iron alloys containing additions from 0.007 to 1.03 wt. % of tin. The alloys were obtained by way of remelting in a Tamman furnace made of pure iron (99.98% Fe) with additions of spectra...
