Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the production of lead rod by the use of vertical downward continuous casting. The lead rod was characterized by optical microscope, by scanning electron microscope equipped with EDS, by X-ray diffraction and by Vickers microhardness measurements. The results obtained showed that the lead metal produced by this process has properties similar to the rod used for its production.
