ASTM International Standard Specification for Hot Tin and Hot Tin/Lead Dip on Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals ASTM A1074-11

This specification covers tin and tin/lead coatings applied by the hot dip process on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Hot tin and tin/lead coatings are used to provide a low contact-resistance surface, to protect against corrosion, to facilitate soldering, to provide anti-galling properties, and to be a stop-off coating in the nitriding of high-strength steels. This specification also identifies the material properties to be tested, which are deposit purity, thickness, adhesion, and solderability.
