Tin powder is produced through an air atomization process of molten alloy, primarily tin. Depending on the air pressure and the flow rate of the molten alloy, the tin powder varies in particle size upon exit. It is classified in mesh units. The larger the mesh size, i.e., the higher the mesh value, the smaller the particle size and the greater the surface coverage. Its main applications are in sintered parts, diamond tools, transportation, particularly for brake components, the carbon brush industry, and chemistry.
