Lead

The recrystallization temperature of lead is below room temperature, and the pressure processing performance is excellent, without work hardening. Lead and lead alloys have low strength, hardness, especially fatigue strength and creep strength, and are susceptible to fatigue and creep damage, so care should be taken when designing and using them as components

Applications of lead

Lead is a raw material for the manufacture of batteries, cables, bullets and ammunition, and is an additive to gasoline. Lead compounds are used as raw materials for pigments, glass, plastics and rubber. Because of its excellent resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, metallic lead is widely used in the manufacture of chemical and metallurgical equipment. Lead alloys are used as bearings, movable gold and solder, etc. In addition, lead has also opened up some new uses. For example, it is used as stabilizer of asphalt to prolong the service life of road surface; it is used in the manufacture of nuclear power plant shielding and nuclear waste storage tank, high-power battery pack for adjusting load in electric industry, and magneto-hydrodynamic device, etc.
