Abstract

Tinned steel sheet is one of the most frequently used metal packaging materials for food industry, due to its high strength, good barrier property, and excellent processing performance. However, one shortcoming related with the application of tinned steel sheet is the trouble of corrosion, peculiarly when the stored food is highly corrosive. Therefore, the corrosion behavior of tinned steel in food environment as well as the relevant corrosion mechanism of the bare- and lacquered-tinned steel are introduced and discussed in the paper. It seems that the corrosion process was closely linked to pH value, dissolved oxygen and some corrosive ions in the food-containing electrolyte. It is noted that new surface treatment methods and new organic coatings for the tinned steel sheet are needed to develop. Finally, the future work on this topic is also pointed out.

Key words: metal packaging tinned steel sheet corrosion mechanism
