Tin additions improve corrosion resistance of steel in salt-containing environments

Tin additions improve corrosion resistance of steel in salt-containing environments: "Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd., Japan, has developed a new corrosion-resistant steel that can be used for bridges in salt-containing environments such as the seaside, or in cold climates where anti-freezing agents are sprayed. The new steel has tin additions that improve corrosion resistance, and is expected to lengthen the intervals between repaints and reduce the repainting workload for such bridges.
