  3. LEAD ALLOYS DIE-CASTING

Lead casting and machining

Lead has been used since very ancient times. It has enabled inventions such as the plumb line, printing characters, batteries. Because of its toxicity, regulations have created a framework that governs its use, but it is still essential in many industries

We manufacture pieces for different industries: Medical, Nuclear industry and Construction

GRADES OF LEAD THAT WE USE

  • Soft lead ( 99% )
  • Antimonial lead ( Pb3, Pb5, Pb7…)
  • Lead-tin ( Pb10-2 etc.. )
  • Specific alloys

  • We use it for filling welding structures (stainless steel/steel) in the civilian nuclear or medical industries where the main application is radiological protection.
  • We manufacture cast parts which are then machined in-house or by our clients, including subassemblies with or without assembly work.
  • Other products manufactured are keel bulbs, auxiliary ballast weights and counterweights.
  • We have significant experience in manufacturing precision counterweights by high-pressure injection (tolerance 0.01g).
