LEAD INGOT
Lead ingot is a metallic product made from pure lead or various alloys, widely used in various industries due to its high density and unique properties. Lead is typically gray or matte silver in color and is very soft, allowing for easy shaping and molding. This metal is also resistant to corrosion and chemical impacts.
Technical Features and Properties of Lead:
• High Density: Lead is one of the metals with very high density, making it suitable for applications such as radiation protection.
• Corrosion Resistance: Lead has high resistance to chemical reactions, acids, and alkalis.
• Poor Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Compared to other metals, lead has low electrical and thermal conductivity.
Types Based on Purity and Grade:
Pure Lead 99.99% (4N)
Application: This high-purity lead is used in sensitive and precise industries such as electronics and medical equipment. It is also used in the production of parts requiring high corrosion resistance.
Pure Lead 99.97% (3N)
Application: This lead grade is mainly used in general industries, such as industrial coatings, corrosion-resistant alloy production, and electrical components. Due to its high purity, it is suitable for everyday industrial uses.
Battery Grade Lead
Application: This type of lead, which has specific impurities, is used in the production of lead-acid batteries. It is prepared for battery production with appropriate purity and has high resistance to rapid discharge and heat generation.
Secondary Lead
Application: This type of lead, obtained from recycled old batteries and other lead products, is used in the production of new batteries and other industries requiring lower purity.
Antimony-Lead Alloy 3-5%
Application: Due to its combination with antimony, this type of lead is used in the production of lead-acid batteries to increase mechanical resistance and reduce corrosion. The antimony-lead alloy is very popular in battery production as it enhances the durability and longevity of batteries.
