Find information on lead supplies and products under this Yellow™ heading. Lead suppliers have lead supplies and products that are used for industries such as construction, automotive, petrochemical, defence and aviation, and even in radiography. Lead is a malleable metal that resists corrosion and endures for a long time; this is why it is an important part in the manufacturing of different kinds of products and structures. Because it is malleable and ductile, it can also be easily formed and incorporated into different shapes and objects. It has even more uses when combined with other metals.
Lead is highly used in construction because of its properties such as its malleability and resistance to corrosion, making it easy to work with and durable at the same time. Lead alloys are created for purposes including bearing metals, fusible alloys, and jewellery metals. Lead can also be made into ingots, or moulds, for casting metal objects. These come in varying purities. There are also lead sheets that come in different sizes and thicknesses. These can be made according to a client’s specifications. They can be used in wall construction as a material that helps block out sounds and vibrations. Castings are also another product from lead. These vary in weight and may range from as light as 30 grams to as heavy as 8000 kilograms.
Lead can also be combined with silver or antimony to create anodes. Anodes are terminals or electrodes of a cell. These are used in current cathodic protection systems. There are also lead shots used for ballast applications. Another product is radiation shielding, which absorbs electromagnetic radiation in short wavelengths.
