Notes:
The corrosion resistance of three ordinary and two K-type makes of tinplate was investigated, with grapefruit juice as test medium. Four criteria, namely the Alloy Tin Couple, Iron Solution, Pickle Lag Values, and dissolved tin after storage at 25° and 35°C, were used. K Plate proved significantly superior to ordinary plate with identical nominal coating weights but from different sources. the ATC test was found to compare best with dissolved-tin values in a grapefruit juice test pack. It was also shown that this test is suitable for corrosivity evaluation of different media.Electron-microscopic examination showed a more continuous tin-iron alloy layer, with smaller crystals, in the K Plate.
