General description
Lead wire is made through extrusion. The press pushes the material towards a line or die, providing the desired cross-sectional shape, round-shaped in this case.
Composition
Lead wire composition meets each client’s requirements and applications. Composition is not relevant for counterweight use and lead production will be carried out with a lead content above 97%.
For other applications, we can start with a lead content of 99.985%. Additionally, 3% - 5% antimony is added to increase the material hardness.
Measuraments, formats
Lead wire is made through extrusion. Tool arrangement enables us to offer almost any measurement from 1 mm up to lead bars of 150 mm.
Applications
There are several applications.
It is used as ballast material for precision machinery, measurement elements, control of fluids, etc.
The checking of pressing machinery, die-stamping machinery, etc.
Lead wire is also used in the manufacture of sport shooting projectiles.
Delivery formats
Deliveries ranging from 250 g reels up to 25 kg spools. Lead wire also cut into metres.
Delivery time
We have a wide range of different qualities. We prepare lead wire in our warehouse for immediate delivery. Usual delivery time: 1 - 2 weeks.
