The scratched tin can with the iron will more rapidly corrode the iron than the tin.

<h3>What is corrosion?</h3>

The corrosion can be given as the process of the oxidation of the metal into the more stable metal oxide. The chemical oxidation of the metal is attained with the surrounding available oxygen or the water vapors.

The reactivity of the Iron for the oxidation is more as compared to the tin from the reactivity series. Therefore if both tin and iron are exposed to corrosion, iron will be more rapidly corroded.
