Mars Metal Company, Specialty Casting Division, has a wealth of experience in turning your custom casting requirements into reality. We have the capability of producing high precision castings to nuclear quality specifications to achieve the maximum density possible from a lead casting. We can produce custom, one-off’s and production runs in any quantity you desire from less than one pound to continuous pours in excess of 150,000 LBS. We have done art castings using the lost wax process and very basic lead fills into canisters provided by you for simple “heavy metal” requirements. For complicated projects we are able to supply pattern making capabilities and mold making so you can get the exact shape and weight that you require. We can supply machined all over parts in one-off’s and production runs and, if requested, we can provide finished parts painted to your specifications.Our talented sales and engineering staff are able to assist in all facets of your project from design to delivery of your requirement.
Our MarShield division manufactures straight, interlocking, and corner lead bricks, commonly used for radiation shielding or ballast weight. Bricks are available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and shapes to suit your application. If you would like more information on our lead bricks please visit our lead brick page on our MarShield website.
MarShield is a Canadian manufacturer with exceptional experience in nuclear lead castings and nuclear lead pours. We have proven ourselves to be leaders in the field by helping companies from the first stages of product development right though to a completed, lead filled component. At MarShield we have the facilities to pour molten lead in a continuous pour in excess of 100,000 lbs. This provides a nuclear lead pour consisting of low porosity, high density lead into a customer’s supplied, fabricated weldment. We use only purest lead meeting ASTM B29 standards. We specialize in all types of structural lead pours including nuclear flasks, nuclear storage containers, pipe sleeves and castings.
