Radiation Shielding Lead Plate Characteristics
Lead plates, also known as radiation shielding lead plates and X-ray protection lead plates, have a specific gravity of 11.34 and possess strong corrosion resistance and acid-base resistance. They are used in many applications such as construction in acidic environments, radiation protection, weighting, and sound insulation. Additionally, lead plates can be applied in industrial flaw detection, acid resistance and corrosion prevention, sound insulation, batteries, and industrial product weighting. In different industries, they are referred to as flaw detection protection lead plates, sound insulation lead plates, and anode lead plates, among others. This article introduces several characteristics of lead plates:
Lead plate characteristics can be summarized as follows:
One: Protective Properties
Lead offers excellent radiation blocking properties, effectively absorbing and shielding radiation, particularly suitable for X-ray, CT room radiation protection, and similar scenarios.
Lead plates, also known as radiation shielding lead plates or radiation protection lead plates, play a crucial role in the atomic energy industry and nuclear radiation protection.
Corrosion resistance:
Lead plates exhibit strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, making them play a crucial role in construction in acidic environments.
This corrosion resistance makes lead plates widely applicable in industrial flaw detection and acid-resistant corrosion prevention fields.
Three Physical Properties:
Lead plates feature high density (11.34g/cm³), which offers them excellent protective properties.
Lead plate is relatively soft, also known as "soft lead," while lead antimony alloy with added antimony has significantly increased hardness, also referred to as "hard lead."
The melting point of lead is 327°C, which ensures the lead plate maintains stable physical properties under specific temperature conditions.
Four-way processability:
Lead plate solidifies faster, with a finer and more uniform initial casting arrangement, which is conducive to reducing the size of the precipitates and ensuring their even distribution.
After a short period of low-temperature heating, lead plates are less prone to coarse grain formation, making it easier to achieve favorable single crystal grain sizes, which is beneficial for controlling the coarsening and growth of precipitated products.
Lead slab can be directly rolled into hot-rolled coil of the required thickness without rough rolling during the hot rolling process, or ultra-thin high-magnetic orientation lead plate can be produced by cold rolling.
Five specifications and customization:
Lead plates are available in various specifications, with widths up to 1.5 meters and thicknesses ranging from 0.3mm to 50mm. Custom sizes are also available upon customer request.
Lead plates can be used to manufacture various lead products in different sizes, such as lead bricks and lead glass, catering to the needs of various industries.
Six other features:
Lead plates also offer excellent soundproofing properties, suitable for noise reduction in machinery and equipment.
Lead plates feature high precision, free of impurities, stable dense performance, no fine pores, high light transmission rate, and long service life.
