Lead Processing: Lead & Its Alloys
Lead has been vital for centuries, used in batteries, radiation shielding, and more. Sandeep Lead Alloys excels in processing and recycling lead, producing durable, high-quality alloys with a focus on sustainability.
Introduction
As a part of human industry for thousands of years, lead is still an essential material in our modern world; from car batteries to radiation shielding, its importance cannot be overstated. A glance at the thrilling world of lead processing!
Where Does Lead Come From?
Lead is taken out of the earth through the process of mining. Did you also know that much of the lead comes from recycling today? It is with pride at Sandeep Lead Alloys that we handle mined lead and recycled lead into quality products.
The process of turning raw lead to that which we put into our products is as follows:
Smelting: Heat the ore until pure lead is separated.
Refining: Get rid of impurities.
Alloying: Mix with other metals for improved characteristics.
Why alloy? Pure lead has uses limited only to instances where it matters nothing that the material is soft and malleable, like decoration. For all other intents and purposes—there's alloying. Lead alloys can be significantly tougher, more durable, and have a high resistance to corrosion because adding small amounts of other metals.
Some common types of lead alloys are:
Lead-antimony – used in batteries
Lead-tin – used in soldering
Lead-calcium – used in advanced battery grids.At Sandeep Lead Alloys, We manufacture unique lead alloy as per the demand of each end-user. To get a better idea look at SLAʼs products here & talk to our experts today!
Applications of lead alloys :
Powering your car (batteries)
Protecting medical professionals (radiation shielding)
Weatherproofing buildings (roofing materials)
And so much more!
