Abstract

Non-passivated electrolytic tinplates withour conventinal chemical treatment self-oxidize in ambient atmosphere to from yellow stain on the outermost surface during the long-term storage. The degree of yellowness of the stain increased linerly with the oxide thickness due to the interfeefence color of the $SnO_2$ Even though the thickness of the oxide layer was very thin, less than 100$AA$ , it exerts an undesirable influence on the can-making processes, particularly the stripping behavior after ironing. Investigations were carried out on the morphologies of the coating layer, the changes in oxide thickness during successive can-making processes and the averge friction coefficients with the different oxide thinkness. These oxide layers were broken up and distributed within the bulk tin coating during the ironing process. This redistribution of the oxide layer prvented smooth pressing-aside of the tin coating layer, resulting in an increase in the ironing friction coefficient. As the friction was increased, the residual stress along the can wall thinkness(i.e., the hoop stress) was also increased. Due to both the oxibe layer accumulation, which increased the friction coefficient, and the hoop stress, can stripping efficiency without roll-back is reduced.
