Popis:	Tinplate is often reflowed during production to improve surface finish and promote diffusion resulting in an iron-tin intermetallic layer. This is done currently using a combination of induction and resistance heating. Near Infrared (NIR) has been used to rapidly heat metal substrates to high temperatures for application in roll to roll production of photovoltaic devices and also in reflowing of galvanized coatings on steel. In this work the NIR technique is applied to flow melting in tinplate, showing that a non-contact method exists that can reflow tin in less than three seconds. Since it is non-contact this method is suitable for batch annealing products after they are formed into complex shapes.
