Lead and Lead-based Alloys

Lead is a soft, dense, and ductile metal that is known to be malleable and corrosion resistant. Lead is blue-white when it is first cut; however, when exposed to air, it loses its luster and turns dull gray. Rarely found free in nature, lead is present in several minerals. The main lead mineral in galena and there are also deposits of cerussite and anglesite which are mined.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality lead and lead-based alloys at a competitive price. We can also customize various shapes of lead products according to your requirements or drawings.

Pure Lead Products

Pure lead is sought after for its excellent corrosion resistance. For example, pure lead at 99.5% can be used in lead-acid batteries for vehicles and UPS systems. It is also found in counterweights, radiation protection bricks, fishing sinkers, and bullet casings.

Pure lead products we can supply are listed below.

Lead-based Alloys

The principal metals alloyed with lead are antimony, arsenic, calcium, copper, tin, tellurium, and silver. Lead-based alloys are easy to work with and are used for casting, smelting, and machining operations. Varying grades of lead-based alloys are used for a variety of purposes.

Lead-based alloys we can provide include lead-antimonial (Pb-Sb) alloys, lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi) alloys, lead-tin (Pb-Sn) alloys, lead-selenium (Pb-Sb) alloys.
