Benefits of using Tinned Coated Wire
                     Benefits of using Tinned Coated 
Wire
 
 
 Copper wires are one of the 
most used components in 
electric equipment and similar 
works. It is an effective 
conductor of electricity. Other 
than copper, metals like steel, 
gold, and aluminium are also 
good electricity conductors. But 
companies prefer copper over 
others due to its cost-
effectiveness and efficiency. 
 One of the drawbacks of copper is 
its vulnerability to oxidation and 
corrosion. This makes it less useful 
for applications like overhead power 
wires or marine equipment. To 
improve the efficiency of copper 
wires in such adverse conditions, tin 
is used to coat the wire. Tinned wire 
protects the copper from corrosion 
that would decrease its efficiency in 
rainy or humid climates, certain 
types of soil, and high-heat 
environments. 
 Benefits of using tinned coated 
wire
There are many reasons why they 
are a great alternative. Tin resists 
water and oxygen which makes it 
less prone to corrosion. Copper 
conductivity becomes more resistant 
to corrosion and other harmful 
conditions, when coated with tin. 
Tinned wires are stronger and 
durable as compared to the non-
tinned ones. 
How is copper wire tinned?
Tin can be applied to the copper wire using the annealing process. Under this process, a 
metal is heated within a predefined temperature and then allowed to cool down. This 
increases the malleability of the metal, making it softer and easier to be molded or cut in any 
shape. 
Copper can also be dipped directly into the melted tin. It can be electroplated with a rectifier 
and electrical charge are used to bond the tin to the copper wire electrically. 
Application of tinned wires 
Tin coated copper wire develops greater strength and corrosion resistance. This makes it 
suitable for underwater equipment and other corrosive elements. Tinned wires also become 
easier to solder and can be used for building stronger connections. It is used in subways (as 
overhead wire application), light and heavy transmit, buses, mini trains, industrial cranes, and 
even in marine projects. 
 Are there any disadvantages? 
If we talk about the capabilities of 
the wire, there is no drawback. The 
only disadvantage is its cost. It is 
more expensive than non-tinned 
wires. But the cost value it brings 
can balance out the risk of using 
non-tinned wires in extreme 
conditions. Paying a little extra for 
the wire will protect you from the 
complete loss of equipment or even 
lives. 
 Where can I buy tinned coated copper 
wire? 
You should buy tinned wires from trusted 
manufacturers like Ganpati Engineering. 
Here, the quality of wires is tested against 
every possible condition to ensure that the 
wire is strong enough to work in extreme 
environments.
