Lead is a metal obtained from smelting galena ore.

Creation

See also: Ore Deposits

Lead is created from galena ore. Galena can be found as a surface ore in sedimentary stone , as ore blocks or surface bits.

Twenty galena nuggets will produce one lead ingot. Due to its low melting point, lead can be smelted using low temperature fuels such as firewood or peat instead of higher temperature fuels such as charcoal and coal which are more difficult to obtain. native silver ore can also be found in galena.

Usage

Lead is used to create lead solder ingots , which are used to create distilling equipment . It is also a component for making leaded glass panels .

Lead ingots can be worked on an anvil without being heated. However, the only items that can be made this way are lead plates using two lead ingots.

Lead plates can be used to make:

Alloys

Lead is used for molybdochalkos, at a ratio of 8-12% copper to 88-92% lead. Molybdochalkos plates can be used to make lanterns .

Lead can also be alloyed into lead solder ingots, at a ratio of 45-55% lead to 45-55% tin .
