Tin is a chemical element. It is often obtained from a mineral called cassiterite (SnO2) and is extracted via cooking it in a furnace with carbon. It is often used as a protec â¦ tive coating on top of other metals (ex. tin cans [made from steel]) to protect them from rust.
Tin (Sn) is one of the few metals which has been used and traded by humans for more than 5000 years. One of its oldest uses is in combination with copper to make bronze. Copper was first coated with tin in the first century AD and tin-plated iron was manufactured in the 16th century.
