Thakkarbapa Nagar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat

We supply Virgin Zinc Ingots at competitive prices across India. This type of material is widely used in various industrial sectors such as chemical industry, metallurgical industry, pharmaceutical industry, dyeing industry and many more. These high quality zinc ingots are also used to make special high grade zinc alloys which are widely used for die casting of various components, roofing applications, batteries and many other applications.

Zinc with the chemical symbol Zn can be recognized by its silvery-blue color. With a maximum melting point of 419.53 and a boiling point of 907, metallic zinc is used in many applications. Zinc ingots can also be separated into standard and jumbo ingots as well as on the basis of their grade, for example, special high grade, continuous galvanizing grade, high grade, etc.

Form

• Around 13 million tons of zinc are produced worldwide every year. On the basis of utility the separation is done as follows:
• About 58% of the total is used in the galvanizing process, which is done to protect the steel from corrosion.
• About 14% zinc is used to produce zinc die casting alloys.
• About 9% of zinc is used in the production of chemicals and oxides.
• About 10% of brass is used in semi and foundry production.

Galvanizing: The galvanizing process involves coating steel products with zinc to make them corrosion resistant. Steel products ranging from steel furniture, buildings, automobiles to home appliances are galvanized.

Zinc Oxide: Zinc oxide is a zinc compound used in the vulcanization of a wide range of products such as paints, ceramics, and rubber.

Die Casting: Zinc die casting alloys are used in many electronic components, hardware accessories, electrical equipment, etc.

Alloy: Zinc and copper are used to make an alloy called brass.

Industries : High strength, pure and highly malleable zinc is used in many industrial sectors ranging from chemicals, rubber, automobiles, batteries to furniture.

Lead is a soft, malleable metal, considered a heavy metal. With the symbol Pb and atomic number 82, corrosion and low temperature resistant lead is used in many fields and products, from lead acid batteries, cables, bearings, cathode ray tubes, weights to construction industry, chemical industry and automotive battery manufacturers. This metal has the highest atomic number among all stable elements.

The largest consumer sector is batteries, which account for three-quarters of total demand. Batteries are divided into:

• Start-light-ignition or SLI batteries currently consume more than half of the total demand. These batteries are mainly used in light vehicles. Its use is not limited to cars, but also in boats and golf carts. Demand for SLI batteries can be divided into original equipment and replacement. Demand for replacements exceeds demand for original equipment by about 4:1 in many markets.
• Industrial batteries currently consume a quarter of total lead production. This sector includes stationary and traction batteries, split roughly 50:50. Stationary batteries are mainly used in backup power supply systems, while traction batteries are used in powered wheelchairs and forklift trucks.

The remainder of the cable is used in battery-free applications. Lead is supplied to many other industries as a pure metal, as a chemical compound or with other metals for the following uses:

• It can be used to make lead pipes for transporting corrosive chemicals and other materials.
• It is used as a lead-based pigment in the paint industry.
• It is used in the cable industry as a coating material for power cables.
• It is also used in computer monitors, television screens, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilizers, and other industrial products.

Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn and atomic number 50. A silver-colored metal, Tin is soft enough to be cut with little force, and a strip of Tin can be bent by hand with little effort. When bent, the so-called "tin squeak" can be heard as a result of the addition of tin crystals; This characteristic is shared by indium, cadmium, zinc and mercury in the solid state. After solidification, pure zinc has a mirror-like appearance like most metals. In most tin alloys, the metal turns light brown on solidification.

Tin is a soft, malleable, ductile, highly crystalline silvery-white metal. When the tin rod is bent, a crackling sound is heard from the twin crystals known as the "tin screech". Tin melts at a low temperature of about 232 °C (450 °F), the lowest in group 14. The melting point for tin particles is lowered to 177.3 °C (351.1 °F). 11 nm. 99.85% Commercial grade resists tin alteration due to the inhibitory effect of small amounts of bismuth, antimony, lead and silver present as impurities. Alloying elements such as copper, antimony, bismuth, cadmium and silver increase its hardness. Tin easily forms hard and brittle intermetallic phases, which is often undesirable. It generally does not form the wide solid solution range of other metals, and few elements have significant solid solubility in tin. However, simple eutectic systems occur with bismuth, gallium, lead, thallium, and zinc.

Uses

• Solder : Tin in amounts ranging from 5 to 70% w/w has long been used as a solder in lead alloys. Lead tin forms a eutectic mixture with a weight ratio of 61.9% tin and 38.1% lead (atomic proportions: 73.9% tin and 26.1% lead) with a melting temperature of 183 °C (361.4 °F). This solder is mainly used for joining pipes or electrical circuits.
• Tin Coating : Tin alloy corrodes easily and is used to protect lead, zinc and steel from corrosion. Tin-plated (or tin-plated) steel containers are widely used for food preservation, and make up a large portion of the metal tin market.
• Special League : Tin combines with other elements to form a variety of useful alloys. Tin is usually mixed with copper. Tin contains 85–99% tin; the percentage of tin in the bearing metal is even higher. Bronze is mostly copper with 12% tin, while the addition of phosphorus produces phosphor bronze. Bell metal is also a copper-tin alloy, containing 22% tin. Sometimes zinc is used in coins
