Tin |

It is a white metal, hard and not very malleable. It doesn´t get affected by air, but it oxidizes in the presence of heat. It forms alloys with almost all metals, especially with iron and copper to form the “tin plate” and “bronze.” |

t is one of the oldest metals, because it is believed that it was used in bronze around 3500 years BC. In the Iberic Peninsula there is registered data about the exploitation of copper and tin around 2800 BC., to make the famous Halberd among other things. At the beginning of our era, Cornwall (England) appears as a tin provider. Later, the Hanseatic League uses tin in the production of canons, ships, bell towers, etc. Later still, its production expanded to India, Japan and Thailand.
