Discovery

Ancient is known.

Source

Mainly exists in tin quarry (SnO2) and stannine mine (Cu2FeSnS4), these ore mainly distributed in malaya, Indonesia, Zaire, Nigeria, Bolivia, and other countries, with coal reduction can be pure metal.

Element USES

Used as coating steel cans, and can also be used to solder (Sn: 67% 33% Pb), tin copper alloy (20% Sn: 80% Cu). Tin fluoride (SnF5) used to toothpaste, tin also used in the manufacture of superconducting magnets, tin most is alloy and application.
