In order to do coatings on copper wire the copper wire material goes through three steps. In the
first step according to the requirement of machinery electrolytic copper wire is drawn in a
specific size. In second step material is annealed (Heat treatment is given) and then tin coated
is done. In third step, tin slab is treated in the above drawn electrolytic annealed copper
wire.
The manufacturing process of Tin Coated Copper Wire
To give the coating it has to go through one more process: That is - Electrolytic process. In
this process the material passes through chemical tank and with the help of the electric current
on the tin slab the tin coating is done on the cooper wire. There is another process of coating
which is called as Hot Dip process. In this stage tin slab is melted in to electric pot and the
material is passed through it which results in tin coating on it
Uses of Tin Coated Copper Wire
The tin coated copper wire is used in various types of cables, industrial machine, heaters, high temperatures instruments, overhead power sources for subways, light and heavy transit system etc.
