Improvement of resistance to stress corrosion of tinplate cans for foodstuff

Objective

The stress corrosion problems of tin plate cans for foodstuff have lately increased. For the external corrosion higher tin coating weights and/or additional external can lacquering are commonly employed to prevent the problem. For stress corrosion phenomena, however, no practical countermeasures exist. The objectives of this research are: to define chemical composition and mechanical characteristics of tinplate in order to eventually estimate causes of stress corrosion phenomena for shaped cans; to study the relationship between stress corrosion sensitivity and can shape for different surface and toughness tinplate grades, with particular attention to thinner coatings and tougher materials.
