Copper melts at 1,085 degrees Celsius, which implies the use of an enclosed furnace and of forced draught or the introduction of overpressure of air. By adding only 10 percent tin to the alloy (bronze), its melting temperature drops to 1,000 degrees Celsius, which still requires a furnace, but not forced draught.

اقرأ أكثرExtraction of Tin/ Stannum. Extraction of tin consists of three parts, i.e. tin ore concentration, smelting and refining. Cassiterite is the main source of tin ore, with specific gravity of 6.8-7g/cm 3, density larger than most of gangue. Therefore, 90% of tin concentrate is mainly obtained from cassiterite through gravity separation.
