Tin corrugated roofing - % of tin and other metals present??
I was wondering if anyone knows what the metal content is of the old corrugated tin roofing, such as what percent is tin and what else may be in it?

I browsed around a bit and found several references like
" Tin used in roofing is actually tin plated iron "
http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/tin-roofs.shtml
" The roofing material is actually rolled steel, but it's coated with tin "

Galvanized sheet metal has been used in place of amalgam for reductive aminations

Though there are decorative ceiling panels, which actually MIGHT be Tin. Victorian stuff, I don't see it around much anymore.
Ah, I checked online. Most modern tiles, are probably only Tin plated.
Chemrox...... Galvanized used like Amalgam? Tell us more, lots more. This I have not heard before!
