Tin is often used as a protective coating.
Tin is used primarily as a safe, corrosion-resistant coating in pure form or in alloys with other metals.

Aluminum is widely used as a structural material. The main advantages of aluminum in this capacity are its lightness, stamping resistance, corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and non-toxicity of its compounds. In particular, these properties have made aluminum extremely popular in the production of cookware, aluminum foil in the food industry, and packaging. The first three properties have made aluminum the main raw material in the aviation and aerospace industries (recently it has been replaced by composite materials, primarily carbon fiber). After the construction and production of packaging, such as aluminum cans and foil, the energy sector is the largest consumer of the metal.
