Here are some of the projects that we worked on this week at Nuclead:
We fabricated and shipped an order of 6% antimony lead plate to an aerospace fabricator in Clearwater, FL. Because lead is very soft and ductile, it is often used commercially as lead alloys. Lead-Antimony and Lead-Tin are common alloys. Antimony generally is used to give greater hardness and strength to lead sheets and lead plates used for applications like storage battery grids, or aerospace applications. Antimony contents of lead-antimony alloys can range from 0.5 to 25%, but they are usually 2 to 5%.
Nuclead fabricated and shipped lead round bar stock to a machine shop in Rockford, TN; for its own value added services. Lead Bar Stock is available from Nuclead’s extensive in house inventory, one of the largest in the USA. Lead rounds are available in stock from 1/16?-6? diameter by 50# length
Also we shipped from inventory was an order of pure lead foil. This was shipped to a rubber and packing company in Twinsburgh, OH. Lead foil is often used to provide radiation protection in many applications such as X-ray rooms, and dentist’s offices or to provide radiation protection to sensitive equipment. Lead foil is thin enough to be cut and formed using shears and can be formed into almost any shape. Lead foil can be back by vinyl or pressure sensitive adhesive to aid application.
Nuclead fabricated and shipped, a special customer specification solder with 1% tin and 99% lead. This was shipped to a large general contractor in Acheson, Alberta; Canada. Nuclead has all Grades of lead Solder – Bar solder, cake solder, notched bar solder and Wire Solder. Alloys with Lead, Tin, Silver or Antimony are available, as well as lead free solder. As is the case with this order, custom solder alloys and special solder are available by request.
