Lead powder producing methods
There are two methods for producing lead powder: one is to use a lead powder machine similar to a ball mill, where lead is oxidized and ground in the machine, which is adopted by most countries. The second method is the crucible method, which uses jet airflow to blow and disperse molten lead while oxidizing it. Lead powder machines are generally drum type. When they work, the shot put (block) attached to the inner wall of the drum rotates inside the drum under the action of centrifugal force, reaches a certain height, and then descends by gravity. Under the action of high temperature and certain humidity in the air inside the cylinder, the surface of lead, especially the deformed edges, is oxidized by the air, forming lead oxides. Under the action of friction and impact force, lead oxide falls off from the surface of the shot and is ground, thus obtaining lead powder, which is carried away by the air blown in. The size of the particles carried out is related to the velocity of the air flow.
