Abstract: Massive white points outspreading along rolling direction on the surface of Sn-Fe alloy layer was discovered after removing tin coating of tinplates offered by some steel works. Corrosion resistance of alloy layer declines with the increase of amount of white points. Morphologies of alloy layer were observed by SEM, and composition of normal alloy layer and white points were analyzed by EDS. It is found that there are many cavities in the white point and the content of Fe in the white point is more than that in the normal alloy layer. In addition, hot-humidity testing was carried out for some plates whose surface has many white points. After 14 days, there are many rust points occurring at the edge of white points and in the small white points. Morphologies of rust points were observed by AFM. The reason why rust points generates at the edge of white points and in the small white points is discussed. Finally, the reason of generating white point on the surface of alloy layer is found out.

Effect of white point of alloy layer on corrosion resistance of tinplate and its generation
Abstract:
Massive white points outspreading along rolling direction on the surface of Sn-Fe alloy layer was discovered after removing tin coating of tinplates offered by some steel works. Corrosion resistance of alloy layer declines with the increase of amount of white points. Morphologies of alloy layer were observed by SEM, and composition of normal alloy layer and white points were analyzed by EDS. It is found that there are many cavities in the white point and the content of Fe in the white point is more than that in the normal alloy layer. In addition, hot-humidity testing was carried out for some plates whose surface has many white points. After 14 days, there are many rust points occurring at the edge of white points and in the small white points. Morphologies of rust points were observed by AFM. The reason why rust points generates at the edge of white points and in the small white points is discussed. Finally, the reason of generating white point on the surface of alloy layer is found out.
