Because of lead’s high density and relatively low cost, it has found numerous uses in the form of lead weights and lead ingots, all good reasons why lead metal is used where large weights are required. Additionally, lead is soft and easy to work, has a low melting point so it is easy to cast either as pure lead or as a lead alloy and is relatively inexpensive often produced as a byproduct of silver mining.

Nuclead has supplied customers with lead weights and lead ingots for use in all applications. In addition to be able to cast any size lead weight either as pure lead or as a lead alloy, Nuclead can machine and fabricate any lead weight to your custom specifications; this includes adding Holes, slots or other features which can be machined into the lead weights, or various surface finishes per custom drawings.

No matter what the size or the form Nuclead has the expertise and experience to deliver lead weights, lead ingots, and lead ballast and counterweight products to specification.
