Intermediate products lie between raw-material treatment and refining or final manufacture.
About Lead
Lead is a dense, malleable metal used in lead-acid batteries, shielding and specialised alloys. Ore, concentrate and refined lead occupy different stages of extraction and processing.
High density
Malleability
Corrosion resistance
Intermediate products
Intermediate products lie between raw-material treatment and refining or final manufacture. Copper matte is one example; its processing stage distinguishes it from ore and finished metal products.
