Antimony alloys are alloys of antimony with other metals, such as lead and tin, that are used to increase the hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance of the base metal. Very common alloys include antimonial lead, used in lead-acid batteries, solder, and bullets, and antimony-tin alloys, which are used in bearings and pewter making. Antimony's ability to harden lead is crucial for applications like storage batteries where it improves the rigidity of the plates.
Common antimony alloys
An alloy of lead and antimony, which is much harder and more durable than pure lead.
· Applications: Lead-acid batteries, solder, and bullets.
· Properties: It allows molten lead to fill casting molds better, while also increasing corrosion resistance.
Used in applications where hardness, strength, and wear resistance are important.
· Applications: Bearings, type metal, and pewter.
Used to improve the properties of aluminum alloys.
· Applications: Used to enhance the strength, ductility, and machinability of the final aluminum-based product.
Other applications of antimony alloys
· Munitions:
Antimony makes lead-based ammunition stronger and harder, which improves its accuracy and effectiveness.
· Cable Sheathing:
Used to provide durability and corrosion resistance.
· Bearings:
Antimony alloys are used in plain and other types of bearings to improve their mechanical properties and reduce friction.
· Foil, sheets, and pipes:
Antimony enhances the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of lead in these products.
