Antimony Lead Strips

Description

Description:

Antimony Lead Strips are a specialized alloy product, primarily composed of lead with a significant addition of antimony to enhance its mechanical properties. The inclusion of antimony strengthens and hardens the otherwise soft lead, significantly improving its rigidity and creep resistance. These strips offer excellent corrosion resistance and are highly dense, making them suitable for applications requiring weight or shielding. Manufactured to precise thickness and width tolerances, Antimony Lead Strips provide a reliable, long-lasting solution in demanding industrial environments.

Applications:
  • Storage Batteries: They’re extensively used in the grid plates of lead-acid batteries due to the antimony’s hardening effect, which helps the plates withstand the stress of charging and discharging cycles.
  • Radiation Shielding: Their high density makes them effective for shielding against X-rays and gamma radiation in medical, industrial, and nuclear applications.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Linings: The alloy’s resistance to chemical attack makes it ideal for tank linings, chemical processing equipment, and pipework in corrosive settings.
