lead alloy
Heavy metallic mixture
A lead alloy is a metal mixture containing lead combined with other elements—typically tin, antimony, or copper—to improve strength, hardness, or other properties.
Common examples include solder (lead-tin), type metal (lead-tin-antimony), and battery grid alloys.
The plumber used a lead alloy to join the pipes.
