Mechanical and physical properties of tin
Are you interested in the physical and mechanical characteristics of tin from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.
Physical parameters
The physical properties of tin are characteristics that can be observed without the transformation of a given element into another substance. Physical properties can usually be observed with the help of our senses. These include color, gloss, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, density, hardness and odor.
Among the qualitative characteristics:
Color — silvery white
Plasticity — the material is extremely plastic. When bending, it produces a strange creaking sound;
Has a shine;
Conductivity — conducts heat or electricity well;
Soft metal (inferior to this parameter only lead);
The crystal structure is tetragonal.
Quantitative characteristics of physical properties
Melting point, 0 С — 232;
Density, kg / m 3 — 7287;
Heat capacity, J / kggrad — 227;
Modulus of elasticity, GPa — 50.
Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers various types of products from tin of domestic and foreign production, which meets the requirements of standards. The products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
Mechanical properties of tin
Are summarized in the table:
| Minimum value | Maximum value | unit of measurement | |
| Density | 7250 | 7260 | kg / m³ |
| Temporary resistance limit | 18 | 19 | MPa |
| Yield strength | 9 | 10 | MPa |
| Elastic modulus | 41400 | 44800 | MPa |
Forms of tin
Tin exists in three allotropic forms. Below 18 ° C, the stable form is α-tin or gray tin with a diamond structure (eg, carbon, silicon and germanium) and a density of 5.765 g / cm 3. The lattice constant is a = 0.6942 nm and the melting point is 230 ° C. This is a semiconductor with a band gap of 0.08 V, which is a nonmetal. From 18 ° C to 161 ° C, the stable form is β-tin or white tin, a metal of a tetragonal crystal structure and a density of 7.2984. This is a normal kind of tin. Recrystallization in α-tin is very slow if the temperature does not drop to -40 ° C or so, and then it can occur for several days. From 161 ° C to the melting point, γ-tin has approximately the same density, but a rhombic crystalline form.
Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase tin in a wide range of profiles and technological applications. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
