Tin Plated wire (thick)
Tin-coated copper wire with a wire diameter of 1.3 mm or more.
発生源
The tin-coated wire (thick) is a copper wire with the coated wire peeled off and is plated with tin, like the special A (Pika wire).
The reason for tinning copper wire is because copper is a metal that easily oxidizes when exposed to oxygen in the air and the tin layer can help to prevent oxidation.
原料になるまでの工程
The collected coated wire is identified as a tinned wire if after the plastic is stripped by the stripping machine, inside is the tin-drawn wire.
The wire is then visually checked for foreign materials at the premises, and an iron detector is used to check for iron contamination. Then, it is pressed, bound, and cut, and after being inspected one last time using an iron detector, the wires will be delivered to smelters and used as a raw material.
製造業者
The tin-coated wire (thick) delivered to the manufacturer is melted and cast in an electric furnace or reverberatory furnace. Unlike bare bright (Barley) wire, it is tin-plated. Hence, it is used by manufacturers of copper alloys that use tin (phosphor bronze, etc.) and manufacturers that allow plating tin content.
