锡

• 拼音: xī
• 汉字拆解: 锡 = 钅(metal radical — indicates metal material) + 易 (easy, change — phonetic component)

含义

Tin (chemical element, Sn). A soft, silvery-white metal used in soldering, alloys, and coating.

Used in metallurgical, industrial, and scientific contexts. China historically produced large quantities of tin in Yunnan province. Common compounds: 锡焊 (soldering), 镀锡 (tin plating), 锡纸 (tin foil). Also part of place names such as 无锡 (Wuxi).

例句

1. 锡的熔点较低，因此常被用于电子元件的焊接工艺中。
2. 古代青铜器是铜与锡的合金，其硬度和耐腐蚀性均优于纯铜。
3. 云南个旧是中国著名的锡都，采锡历史已有两千余年。

正确说法

• 工程师查看焊料报告后发现，锡含量低于63%，这会削弱焊点强度和导电性，甚至引发开裂。(After reviewing the solder report, the engineer found that the tin content was below 63%, which would weaken solder joint strength and conductivity, and could even cause cracking.)
• 考古分析显示，晚商礼器中锡的比例普遍高于早期器物，说明工匠已能靠调节铜锡配比控制青铜硬度与色泽。(Archaeological analysis shows that late Shang ritual vessels generally had a higher tin content than earlier ones, showing that craftsmen already knew how to control bronze hardness and color by adjusting the copper-tin ratio.)

错误说法

• 锡 when referring to aluminium foil used in cooking — the common household product is 铝箔 (aluminium foil); 锡纸 is an older or colloquial term that technically means tin foil, though in everyday speech it is sometimes loosely used for aluminium foil, which can cause confusion in technical or formal contexts

起源与历史

锡 = 钅(metal radical) + 易 (easy, change) — the metal radical indicates it is a metal; 易 provides phonetic indication and may allude to tin's low melting point making it easy to smelt
