Tin and Terne Plate Industry
TIN plate (tinned plates) are sheets of steel, generally from No. 16 to No. 38 gage, coated with tin in order to protect  them from corrosion. In heavy gages, they are sometimes called tinned sheets. The process of manufacture is practically the same up to the annealing operation as that for sheets. At this stage of manufacture, sheets to be tinned are first pickled to remove the scale; they are then washed with water in tanks to remove the acid and then they are annealed. After annealing, they are cold-rolled to a perfectly smooth surface in order that the finished tin plate will attain a high polish. The cold-rolled sheets are again annealed, pickled and washed. The sheets are then passed into and drawn through a bath of liquid tin by means of four to six pairs of rolls, which are immersed in it, the last set squeezing off the surplus metal. By the action of the rolls, the tin is distributed as evenly as possible on the surface of the sheets and the result is a smooth, bright, adhering coat of tin. The surface of the molten tin in the bath is covered with a layer of palm oil to prevent oxidation, and as some of this adheres to the plates, it is necessary to clean them. This is accomplished by a branning machine through which the plates are passed, a series of revolving brushes applying to the surface bran, or a mixture of sawdust and lime. The plates are next carefully inspected in the assorting room, those having defects being separated from the good sheets, the former being classed as wasters and the good sheets as primes; after this they are packed in wooden boxes which are marked with the sizes and gages of the plates contained therein, and whether primes or wasters.
The standard sizes of tin plates are 14 x 20 inches and 20 x 28 inches, and different trade terms are assigned to the plates, depending upon their sizes, weights per square foot, and the character and quantity of coating.
Terne Plates
Terne plates are manufactured in much the same manner as tin plates, except that the coating consists of a mixture of tin and lead running about 25 per cent of tin and 75 per cent of lead, and is, therefore, less expensive. They are called terne plates because made of three metals.
Taggers are thin sheets largely used for metal signs; they may be coated or uncoated; when coated, tin, lead or an admix-ture of these metals is used. Taggers tin is a name originally applied to sheets of tin plate lighter than the standard gage.
Corrugated sheets are sheets having corrugations or grooves pressed or rolled into the surface. They are usually produced by passing the sheets between a pair of rolls in the surface of which corrugations (grooves) have been cut.
Hot galvanizing consists in slowly passing the sheets through a bath of molten spelter (commercial zinc) and removing the superfluous zinc by iron brushes, or otherwise. Galvanizing is specially applied to corrugated sheets used for enclosing buildings.
Planished Sheets
Russian  sheet iron, Russian iron or planished sheet, is a special grade of sheet with a glossy black appearance. It is produced by the rapid hammering of a pile of sheets. Sheets toughened and hammered to obtain a polished surface are said to be planished. “Glanced” sheets used in this connection means brightened.
Enameling is the process of coating metals with a film of vitreous substance called enamel. The enamel is made in many different colors and usually is a secret composition. It is applied in the form of a powder or solution on the metal to which it is baked. The process is largely used for sheets, cooking utensils and sanitary fixtures, such as bath tubs, washstands, etc.
