tin plate
Cheap silvery sheeting
Tin plate is thin sheet iron or steel coated with tin to prevent rust.
The coating makes it suitable for food containers, since tin resists corrosion and is non-toxic.
Most metal cans are made from tin plate, though the term tin can persists even as aluminum has largely replaced it.
As a verb, to tin-plate is to apply this coating.
