Organ pipes are often made from a lead alloy, mixed with various amounts of tin to control the tone of each pipe. [231] [232] Lead is an established shielding material from radiation in nuclear science and in X-ray rooms [233] due to its denseness and high attenuation coefficient. [234] Molten lead has been used as a coolant for lead-cooled ...

Lead readily forms an equimolar alloy with sodium metal that reacts with alkyl halides to form organometallic compounds of lead such as tetraethyllead. [15] The Pb–C bond energies in TML and TEL are only 167 and 145 kJ/mol; the compounds thus decompose upon heating, with first signs of TEL composition seen at 100 °C (210 °F).
A sort made from type metal. In printing, type metal refers to the metal alloys used in traditional typefounding and hot metal typesetting.Historically, type metal was an alloy of lead, tin and antimony in different proportions depending on the application, be it individual character mechanical casting for hand setting, mechanical line casting or individual character mechanical typesetting and ...
The alloy is named for Barnabas Wood, who invented and patented the alloy in 1860. [1] [2] It is a eutectic, fusible alloy of 50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium by mass. It has a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F). [3] [4]
Linotype or eutectic alloy is a broad name applied to five categories of lead alloys used in manufacture of type, especially for the Linotype machine, each with three to five sub-classifications. One alloy is composed of lead with 4% tin and 12% antimony.
The pseudo binary alloy of Lead tin telluride acts as a thermoelectric material over 400–700 K temperature range. [2] Lead tin telluride has a positive temperature coefficient i.e. for a given composition x, band gap increases with temperature. Therefore, temperature stability has to be maintained while working with lead tin telluride based ...
