    In modern times, tin is used in many alloys, most notably tin-lead soft solders, which are typically 60% or more tin, and in the manufacture of transparent, electrically conducting films of indium tin oxide in optoelectronic applications. Another large application is corrosion-resistant tin plating of steel.

    The can saw very little change since then, although better technology brought 20% reduction in the use of steel, and 50% - in the use of tin [7] (the modern cans are 99.5% steel). [9] Canned food in tin cans was already quite popular in various countries when technological advancements in the 1920s lowered the cost of the cans even further.

  8. Tinplate - Wikipedia
