Antimony Metal And Alloys

Antimony is a bluish-white brittle metal. Antimony is a semi-metal. In its metallic form it is silvery, The symbol is the Eye of Horus, an Ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. The Ancient Egyptians used antimony sulfide as a mascara. It has low thermal and electrical conductivity. Antimony is stable in air at room temperature, but forms antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) if heated. Elemental antimony is generally found in one of two allotropes and has both metallic and non-metallic properties. The main source of this element is Stibnite (Sb₂S₃), an ore which whilst being widely distributed is not very plentiful (hence the abundance of only 0.2 ppm of antimony within the earth's crust). Antimony is a relatively stable element and is not attacked by dilute acids or alkalis. It is a poor electrical and thermal conductor. Applications of antimony and its alloys include its use as an alloying element for hardening other metals, a bearing material and in batteries. High purity antimony is used in the semiconductor industry. ATT offer ultra-high purity (up to 99.99999%) antimony metal in a variety of forms including Antimony Ingot, Antimony Powder, Antimony Lump, Antimony Particle, sputtering targets, etc.Purity: 2N-7N, or customized.
