Soft Temper Tinplate Coil - Cold Rolled Electrolytic Tin Coated Steel Strip
Soft temper tinplate coil represents a specialized category of cold-rolled steel strip coated with a thin layer of electrolytic tin, engineered specifically for applications demanding exceptional formability and deep-drawing capabilities. This premium-grade material serves critical roles in food packaging, aerosol container manufacturing, and decorative applications where superior ductility combined with corrosion resistance proves essential. Targeted at can manufacturers, packaging converters, and metal forming specialists, soft temper tinplate delivers optimal performance in high-speed production environments requiring complex forming operations.
What is Soft Temper Tinplate Coil?
Soft temper tinplate coil is cold-rolled low-carbon steel substrate electroplated with pure tin coating on both surfaces, subsequently annealed to achieve T-2 or T-3 temper designation per ASTM A623M standards. The annealing process reduces hardness to 45-52 HR30T range, providing exceptional elongation properties of 32-38% that enable deep drawing and intricate forming operations without surface cracking or metal fatigue.

Soft Temper Tinplate Coil Technical Specifications
Our soft temper tinplate conforms to ASTM A623M/JIS G3303 standards with base metal thickness ranging 0.15-0.49mm and tin coating weight options of 2.8g/m², 5.6g/m², or 11.2g/m² (designated as E2.8/2.8, E5.6/5.6, E11.2/11.2). The material exhibits tensile strength of 290-370 MPa with Rockwell hardness T45-T52, featuring bright finish (BA) or stone finish (D) surface treatments suitable for lithographic printing applications.
Why Choose Our Soft Temper Tinplate Supply
We maintain strategic partnerships with ISO 9001:2015 certified mills providing mill-direct pricing on soft temper tinplate coils with guaranteed chemical composition per EN 10202 standards. Our quality assurance program includes material test certificates (MTC 3.1) documenting tin coating weight verification via coulometric testing and temper grade confirmation through standardized hardness measurements, ensuring consistent formability across production batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard MOQ for soft temper tinplate coil is 25 metric tons per specification, though we accommodate smaller trial orders of 5-10 tons for new product development projects requiring material qualification testing.

Do you provide material test certificates?
Yes, every shipment includes EN 10204 Type 3.1 mill test certificates documenting chemical analysis, mechanical properties, tin coating weight measurements, and temper grade verification performed by independent testing laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
What is the typical delivery time?
Lead time for stock specifications averages 15-20 days FOB origin port, while custom slit widths or special coating weights require 35-45 days from purchase order confirmation to container loading at manufacturing facility.
Can you cut to custom sizes?
Our precision slitting capabilities accommodate custom widths from 600mm to 1050mm with tolerance of ±0.5mm, and we provide cut-to-length services for sheets ranging 600x1000mm to 1000x2000mm with squareness tolerance within 2mm per meter.
