Lead Foils

Lead Foils are produced according to customers’ requirements based on all common alloys and dimensions.

Alloys

• Pb : basis 99.5 – 99.999%
• Sn : 0.00 to 6% see solder foils
• Sb : 0.00 – 4%
• Further alloy elements are Ag, Cu.

Dimensions — Width: 4.0 to 1.000 mm (.16 to 39 inches) depending on thickness and Alloy
Thicknesses — 0.015 to 0.5 mm (.0006 to .02 inches) depending on width and alloy
Coil weights — depending on width and thickness up to 500 kg (1100 lbs)/coil

Applications
