Definition - Terne is an alloy coating of lead and tin used to cover steel, in the ratio of 20% tin and 80% lead. Terne is used to coat sheet steel to inhibit corrosion. It is the one of the cheapest alloys suitable for this, and the tin content is kept at a minimum while still adhering to a hot-dipped iron sheet, to minimize the cost.
