EN 13148:2010 (E) 5 Introduction Hot-dip tinned strip is manufactured by passing strip through a molten bath of tin, tin-lead alloy or other tin alloys. By this process a solid bond is created between the metallic coating and the strip by formation of a layer of an intermetallic phase and a diffusion zone. The base metal is hot-dip tinned to protect it against corrosion, to facilitate soldering operations, to improve insertion and withdrawal forces of connectors, to reduce contact resistance at electrical junctions and to avoid whisker growth on components. The properties of coatings can be modified by mechanical and/or thermal treatments. When the strip is emerging from the bath the thickness of the coating is adjusted by partially wiping off the molten film, either by stationary wiping devices or by a flat air jet. The thickness of the coating can be continously measured and regulated on both sides of the strip during or after the tinning process. Usually strips are tinned in larger widths and slit to narrower width specified by the customer. In this case, the final slit product has untinned edges. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies:  the composition and tolerances on dimensions of strip produced by rolling in the thickness range from 0,10 mm up to and including 1,50 mm of copper and copper alloys to be tinned, with tin, a tin-lead alloy or other tin alloys;  the composition of material normally used for the melt;  the properties of strip before tinning;  the properties of hot-dip tinned strip;  the preferred thicknesses (mean values) and thickness ranges of coatings;  the edgewise curvature of hot-dip tinned strip;  the sampling procedure;  the methods of test to be used for verification of conformity to the requirements of this European
Standard;  the delivery conditions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Other material for the coating shall conform to the requirements agreed between the purchaser and the supplier [see 5 i)]. SIST EN 13148:2011



EN 13148:2010 (E) 12 6.2 Mechanical properties and grain size of the base material The mechanical properties and the grain size, if required, shall conform to the appropriate requirements given in Table 4. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with 8.2 to 8.4. 6.3 Dimensions and tolerances 6.3.1 Tolerances on thickness The thickness of strip before tinning shall conform to the appropriate tolerances given in Table 6. The
thickness of tinned strip shall conform to the appropriate combination of tolerances for the thickness of the strip given in Table 6 and the thickness range of the coatings ordered, for both faces, given in Table 5. NOTE The minimum thickness of the tinned strip is equal to the minimum thickness of the strip before tinning plus the minimum thickness of the coating on each face. The maximum thickness of the tinned strip is equal to the maximum
thickness of the strip before tinning plus the maximum thickness of the coating on each face. For partially hot-dip tinned strip it can be the case that in the non-coated parts max. 0,03 mm of the base
material is removed. 6.3.2 Tolerances on widths Generally the edges of a supplied strip are not tinned, because a strip is normally tinned in a larger width and slit to the ordered width after hot-dip tinning. In this case the same tolerances as for strip before tinning shall apply as given in Table 7. When strip with coated edges is ordered, the tolerance on width shall be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 6.4 Edgewise curvature c For the straightness of the longitudinal edge, which unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and the supplier shall be based on a measuring length of 1 000 mm, the edgewise curvature c (see Figure 1) shall not exceed the values given in Table 8. If the purchaser and the supplier agree on a measuring length of 2 000 mm, the edgewise curvature c shall not exceed the values given in Table 8 multiplied by 4.

Introduction
Hot-dip tinned strip is manufactured by passing strip through a molten bath of tin, tin-lead alloy or other tin
alloys. By this process a solid bond is created between the metallic coating and the strip by formation of a
layer of an intermetallic phase and a diffusion zone.
The base metal is hot-dip tinned to protect it against corrosion, to facilitate soldering operations, to improve
insertion and withdrawal forces of connectors, to reduce contact resistance at electrical junctions and to avoid
whisker growth on components. The properties of coatings can be modified by mechanical and/or thermal
treatments.
When the strip is emerging from the bath the thickness of the coating is adjusted by partially wiping off the
molten film, either by stationary wiping devices or by a flat air jet. The thickness of the coating can be continu-
ously measured and regulated on both sides of the strip during or after the tinning process. Usually strips are
tinned in larger widths and slit to narrower width specified by the customer. In this case, the final slit product
has untinned edges.

6.1 Composition
6.1.1 Strip to be tinned
The composition of the strip shall conform to the requirements for the appropriate material given in Tables 1
and 2.
Percentage content of the elements shown as "remainder" (Rem.) is usually calculated by difference from
100 %.
6.1.2 Material for the coating
Unless otherwise specified, the composition of the material for the coating shall conform to the requirements
for the appropriate material given in Table 3. Other material for the coating shall conform to the requirements
agreed between the purchaser and the supplier [see 5 i)].

prEN 13148:2009 (E)
6.2 Mechanical properties and grain size of the base material
The mechanical properties and the grain size, if required, shall conform to the appropriate requirements given
in Table 4. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with 8.2 to 8.4.
6.3 Dimensions and tolerances
6.3.1 Tolerances on thickness
The thickness of strip before tinning shall conform to the appropriate tolerances given in Table 6. The thick-
ness of tinned strip shall conform to the appropriate combination of tolerances for the thickness of the strip
given in Table 6 and the thickness range of the coatings ordered, for both faces, given in Table 5.
NOTE The minimum thickness of the tinned strip is equal to the minimum thickness of the strip before tinning plus the
minimum thickness of the coating on each face. The maximum thickness of the tinned strip is equal to the maximum thick-
ness of the strip before tinning plus the maximum thickness of the coating on each face.
For partially hot-dip tinned strip it can be the case that in the non-coated parts max. 0,03 mm of the base ma-
terial is removed.
6.3.2 Tolerances on widths
Generally the edges of a supplied strip are not tinned, because a strip is normally tinned in a larger width and
slit to the ordered width after hot-dip tinning. In this case the same tolerances as for strip before tinning shall
apply as given in Table 7. When strip with coated edges is ordered, the tolerance on width shall be agreed
between the purchaser and the supplier.
6.4 Edgewise curvature c
For the straightness of the longitudinal edge, which unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and the
supplier shall be based on a measuring length of 1 000 mm, the edgewise curvature c (see Figure 1) shall not
exceed the values given in Table 8.
If the purchaser and the supplier agree on a measuring length of 2 000 mm, the edgewise curvature c shall
not exceed the values given in Table 8 multiplied by 4.
