Component of pewter and solder (3)

I believe the answer is:

tin

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Cornish metal?" , "Silvery-white metallic element" , "Atomic number 50" , "A silvery-white metal, symbol Sn" , "Silver-white element often used in food containers" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
