Tin Ingot Physical Properties​

Tin ingots (primarily ​​99.9%+ pure Sn​​) exhibit these key physical characteristics:
​Property​ ​Value (for Pure Tin, Sn)​ ​Notes​
​Chemical Symbol​ Sn (Tin) Typically ​​Sn 99.90% – 99.99%​
​Appearance​ Silvery-white, lustrous metal Soft, ductile, non-toxic
​Density​ ​7.31 g/cm³ (at 20°C)​ Heavier than most non-ferrous metals
​Melting Point​ ​231.9°C (449.4°F)​ Low melting point, ideal for soldering
​Boiling Point​ ​2,602°C (4,716°F)​  
​Mohs Hardness​ ​1.5​ Very soft, easily scratched
​Tensile Strength​ ​20–30 MPa (varies by alloy)​ Soft but malleable
​Electrical Conductivity​ ​15% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard)​ Lower than copper but stable
​Thermal Conductivity​ ​66.8 W/m·K​ Good heat transfer
​Corrosion Resistance​ ​Excellent (forms protective oxide layer)​ Resists rust & oxidation
​Toxicity​ ​Non-toxic (food-safe)​ Used in tinplate & solder
​Common Tin Ingots Grades:​
  • ​Sn 99.90% (Grade A)​​ – High purity, minimal impurities
  • ​Sn 99.95% (Grade 1)​​ – Ultra-pure, for electronics & food packaging
  • ​Sn 99.99% (Grade 2 / Special High Grade)​​ – Highest purity, for semiconductors
