Following Materials
▪ Tin
▪ Glass
▪ Cement
▪ Titanium
▪ Carbon Fiber
Present The Result As A Short Report Of About 100 - 200 Words
(Roughly Half A Page).
Specimen Answer: Tin. Tin (Symbol Sn), A Silver-White Metal, Has A
Long History. It Was Traded In The Civilisations Of The Mediterranean
As Early As 1500 BC (The Old Testament Of The Christian Bible
Contains Many References To It). Its Importance At That Time Lay In
Its Ability To Harden Copper To Give Bronze (Copper Containing About
10% Tin), The Key Material For Weapons, Tools And Statuary Of The
Bronze Age (1500 BC – 500 BC). Today Tin Is Still Used To Make
Bronze, For Solders And As A Corrosion Resistant Coating On Steel
Sheet (“Tin Plate” ) For Food And Drink Containers – A “Tinnie”, To An
Australian, Is A Can Of Beer. Plate Glass Is Made By Floating Molten
Glass On A Bed Of Liquid Tin (The Pilkington Process). Thin Deposits
Of Tin Compounds On Glass Give Transparent, Electrically Conducting
Coatings Used For Frost-Free Windshields And For Panel Lighting.
