    The melting point of lead—at 327.5 °C (621.5 °F) ... decomposes at room temperature, lead tetrabromide is less stable still, ... a lead analog does not exist. [94]

  3. Melting points of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_points_of_the...

    The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

  4. Lead smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_smelting

    The coke is used to melt and reduce the lead. Limestone reacts with impurities and floats to the top. This process also keeps the lead from oxidizing. The molten lead flows from the blast furnace into holding pots. Lead may be mixed with alloys, including antimony, tin, arsenic, copper and nickel. It is then cast into ingots. [3] [4]

  5. Cupellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupellation

    So the primary production of silver requires the smelting and then cupellation of argentiferous lead ores. [8] [4] Lead melts at 327 °C, lead oxide at 888 °C, and silver melts at 960 °C. To separate the silver, the alloy is melted again at the high temperature of 960 °C to 1000 °C in an oxidizing environment.

  7. Smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

    The required temperature varies both in absolute terms and in terms of the melting point of the base metal. Examples: Iron oxide becomes metallic iron at roughly 1250 °C (2282 °F or 1523 K), almost 300 degrees below iron's melting point of 1538 °C (2800 °F or 1811 K). [5]

  8. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.

  9. Type metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_metal

    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 ...
