· NiPb

NiPb is a nickel-lead binary alloy combining the corrosion resistance of nickel with lead's softness and damping characteristics. Historically used in plating, bearing materials, and solder applications where the combination of wear resistance and machinability was valued, though modern environmental and health regulations have significantly restricted its use due to lead toxicity. The alloy remains of interest in specialized electronics and thermal management contexts where lead-containing compositions are still permissible or where historical specifications require it.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
