Technical Department report on Production Test No. 313-58-M: Recovery of lead dipped slugs
A number of slugs have been dipped in lead, then Al-Si and canned. Laboratory experiments showed that the can and outer bonding layers could be removed by the standard caustic-nitrate treatment. The alloy layer was removed from several slugs by hot nitric acid without use of hydrofluoric acid. It was desired to extend the method to the plant process and to clean accumulated lead dipped pieces. Lead dipped slugs may be cleaned by the regular recovery process with a weight loss of about 0.03 lbs. per slug. Attempts to modify or shorten the procedure were not successful. Twenty-four (24) of the recovered slugs were canned satisfactorily.
