March 27, 2024

Lead pigs or ingots are indispensable in a myriad of sectors, including industrial, nuclear, medical, veterinary, scientific research, military, and national defense. Mars Metal specializes in providing tailored lead grades, offering options such as low sulfur or low bismuth grade lead.

Ingot lead, alternatively referred to as lead pigs, bullion, or bar lead, serves a multitude of purposes, from radiation shielding to serving as ballast weights or anchors in industrial or marine settings. Our range encompasses various sizes, spanning from 10 LB ice cube tray ingots to 70 LB large ingots, each available with distinct purity specifications.

Understanding Pig Lead and Lead Ingot: Pig lead, or lead ingot, is essentially a mass of lead metal cast into a specific shape, often resembling a piglet or loaf, thus the name. Its form facilitates handling and transportation, making it a convenient choice across diverse industries.

Mars Metal Supplies Lead Ingot & Pig Lead We at Mars Metal offer a diverse array of lead ingots tailored to meet specific requirements. Whether it's standard-sized ingots or specialized lead grades, we possess the expertise and capabilities to deliver solutions precisely aligned with your specifications.
