Antimony Alloys

Antimony is a relatively soft Metal that is most commonly used to increase the hardness of other Alloys. For example, it is often used in Lead Alloys for batteries and Lead/Copper/Tin Alloys for Machine bearings.Antimonial Lead Alloys are made up of 1% to 10%+ antimony that is added to Lead base metal. The Antimony hardens the lead, making it more durable. While Pure Lead is soft and malleable, the addition of Antimony increases the lead’s hardness without compromising its ductility – an important characteristic for machining the metal. Antimony Lead Alloys have a wide range of applications, including bearing assembly, ballast, casting, step soldering, and radiation shielding. American Elements can produce Antimony Lead in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as bar, Ingot, ribbon, wire, shot, sheet, and foil. Custom specifications can also be produced upon request. We offer a variety of packaging options for our bulk products, including palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums, 1 ton super sacks, and full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. We can also package research and sample quantities of hygroscopic, oxidizing, or other air sensitive materials under argon or vacuum. Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Our solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic, or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes, and 36,000 lb tanker trucks.
