# Tin: Relationships

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/commodities/tin/links/

Every element and industry that Tin is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Tantalum](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/tantalum-and-tin/): Tantalum and tin come out of the same ground and the same furnaces: tin smelter slags are a tantalum source, both are dug by hand in eastern DR Congo and Rwanda, and both fall under the same conflict-minerals rules and electronics supply chains. *(researched)*
- [Steel](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/steel-and-tin/): Tinplate, thin steel coated with a few grams of tin per square metre, ties the two metals in food and drink cans: it is a sizeable use for tin but a small one for steel, and chromium-coated steel and aluminium are steadily taking its place. *(researched)*
