tinning
Applying tin layer
Tinning is the process of coating metal with a thin layer of tin to prevent corrosion or improve solderability.
Cooks tin copper pans to make them food-safe.
In electronics, tinning wire tips makes them easier to solder.
The word also covers the process of preserving food in tin cans: the tinning of sardines.
