“Of late, the tin manufacturers are focusing on newer tin smelting technologies, owing to the increasing demand for tin. They are trying to extract tin from non-conventional ores and different types of tin concentrates, through automated control systems and advance techniques of pollution control. A newer method, tin fuming and volatilisation technology has gained prominence in the metallurgical testing sites.
Solder is the major user of tin, accounting for 51% of the global tin usage market. It is used in the electronics industry to fabricate circuitry of various equipment that have intricate electronic components embedded in a circuit board. Moreover, the miniaturization of electronic components is increasing the use of solders. The volumetric consumption of tin for the manufacture of solders is expected to reach 206 thousand metric tonnes in 2019.
