Abstract
Abstract This paper gives results of an investigation on three types of lead cable sheath differing only in the antimony content, which was, respectively, 0.06, 0.6, and 1.2 per cent. At room temperature all three compositions elongated at more or less fixed rates with loads as low as 245 lb. per sq. in. The results would indicate that a similar behavior would be obtained with still lower loads and that the behavior of lead at 70 deg. fahr. should be similar to that of plain carbon steel at a temperature above its equicohesive range. Increasing antimony content does not result in a decrease in the rate of flow at the lower temperatures, but in a lowered resistance to creep. At a temperature of 80 to 120 deg. cent. the higher antimony content results in a decrease in the rate of creep, while the lower antimony results in a comparatively high rate of creep.
