Abstract
Stable wrought lead-calcium-tin alloys can be prepared by casting an alloy of lead having a calcium content of from about 0.02% or 0.03% to about 0.1% by weight and having a tin content such that the tin to calcium weight ratio or relative tin content is from about 7:1 to 10:1 and preferably is more than 10:1 up to about 100:1, with the proviso that the absolute tin content be from about 0.3% to about 2.0%; and thereafter cold working the casting at a time period of within about 24 hours after casting for the lead-calcium-tin alloys having a tin to calcium weight ratio of from about 7:1 to 10:1 and within about 48 hours after casting for the lead-calcium-tin alloys having a tin to calcium weight ratio of from more than 10:1 up to about 100:1. Aged work pieces heated sufficiently to dissolve the precipitated calcium phases can be similarly treated.
