Lead Plate

A lead plate is a flat, thick sheet of lead metal that is used in various industrial, medical, and commercial applications. Lead plates are valued for their unique properties such as high density, malleability, and resistance to corrosion. They are typically produced by rolling or casting lead into flat sheets of varying thicknesses.

Key Characteristics of Lead Plates:

1.        High Density: Lead has a density of approximately 11.34 g/cm³, which makes lead plates much heavier than other materials. This characteristic is useful for applications where mass or weight is important.

2.        Malleability: Lead is a soft metal, which means lead plates can be easily cut, shaped, or moulded to fit various applications without breaking. This malleability allows for flexible use in a wide range of industries.

3.        Corrosion Resistance: Lead is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in acidic or moist environments. This makes lead plates durable and suitable for long-term use in challenging conditions.
