Technical characteristics

Lead is a heavy bluish-grey metal. It is characterized by softness, plasticity and low melting point: with a density of 11340 ^k/m3 the melting point is 327.4 ° C. Rolled lead is relatively quickly covered by a film of oxides in the air, which protects the metal from adverse chemical effects.

Relevance

Lead is used in the manufacture of battery plates (not less than 30% of melted metal is used for such purposes), the shells of high-current electric cables, as well as the main part of the shielding for effective protection against X-rays and harsh γ-rays. In the recent past, lead parts were actively used in the printing industry in the manufacture of various fonts. The metal is an important component of antifriction alloys and semiconductor devices.

History of discovery

It is believed that lead, along with metals such as copper, iron, tin and mercury, is one of the five metals known to mankind for thousands of years. Smelting lead from ores close to the earth's surface allowed the builders of ancient Rome to build unique aqueducts and aqueducts, thanks to which the cities of the Roman Empire were easily supplied with water.

Ancient usage

Because of the ease with which it could be smelted, lead was used by the ancients primarily as jewelry. The first known examples of such jewelry date back to the sixth millennium BC. In ancient Greece, lead was used to plate the underwater parts of warships, and in Europe and the Middle East it was used to make ritual figurines of the gods. Later, already in the Middle Ages, lead sticks wrote letters and documents, covered roofs of houses of noblemen, and alchemists unsuccessfully searched recipes of transformation of lead into gold.
