Antimony, grade Su0

Material

The simple substance antimony is a semimetal of silvery-white color with a bluish tint, coarse-grained structure

View by manufacturing method

Antimony is produced in the form of pigs and granules. At most metallurgical enterprises, liquid steel is poured into molds - tall cast iron forms. After the metal hardens, the ingots are “stripped”, that is, the molds are removed from them

Chemical composition

Sb content: 99.6%

Type by purpose

Antimony is increasingly used in the semiconductor industry in the production of diodes, infrared detectors, and Hall effect devices. It is a component of lead alloys, increasing their hardness and mechanical strength. Applications include: batteries; antifriction alloys; printing alloys; small arms and tracer bullets; cable sheaths; matches; medications, antiprotozoal agents; soldering - some lead-free solders contain 5% Sb; use in linotype printing machines. The most important area of application for high-purity antimony is modern semiconductor technology. Antimony, grade Su0, is a very brittle metal, but it increases the hardness of other metals and does not oxidize under normal conditions. It is often introduced as an alloying element into various alloys.
