About Lead Shot

Lead Shot is a small pallets of leads which is mostly used in cartridges. It is basically used to make lead, by melting the metal and then dropped from height into a pail water. This created small round pellets that are lead shot. It is traditionally made by using shot tower. In addition to this, Lead Shot is mainly used in shielding atomic radiation from nuclear reactor. It has been used to provide different weight in stress testing systems.

Versatile Applications for Industry Needs

Lead Shot is engineered to meet diverse requirements such as ammunition production, ballast in marine and aerospace industries, counterweight systems, and efficient radiation shielding solutions. Its precise particle size and superior hardness ensure optimal performance for specialized tasks. The customizable nature of our offerings enables seamless integration into any project specification.

Strict Quality and Safety Standards

Each batch of lead shot complies with IS 27 grade or tailored specifications as per customer requests, guaranteeing consistent purity and performance. The products smooth, uniform surface finish and high density make it a preferred choice in demanding applications, while its effective corrosion resistance supports long-lasting reliability under typical storage conditions.

FAQs of Lead Shot:

Q: How is lead shot manufactured to ensure hardness and purity?

A: Lead shot is produced using controlled casting or droplet formation processes, ensuring a round shape and smooth, uniform surface. Hardness levels can be adjusted to standard or extra-hard grades by introducing selective alloying, yet the minimum purity remains at 99.97% pure lead for optimal chemical composition.

Q: What are the recommended applications for this lead shot?

A: Our lead shot is designed for use in ammunition manufacturing, ballast for ships and aircraft, as weights in industrial machinery, and as an effective material for radiation shieldingthanks to its density, uniformity, and corrosion resistance.

Q: When should I choose extra-hard lead shot over standard hardness?

A: Extra-hard lead shot is preferred in applications where greater resistance to deformation is needed, such as high-performance ammunition or in scenarios demanding more structural integrity under impact or load.

Q: Where can the lead shot be delivered, and what packaging options are available?

A: We distribute, export, and supply lead shot across India and internationally. It is offered in various packaging types such as plastic bags, drums, or in large bulk consignments, depending on customer requirements.

Q: What benefits does smooth, uniform surface finish offer in practical usage?

A: A smooth and uniform surface finish on each lead shot particle ensures reliable flight characteristics for ammunition, consistent weight distribution for ballasts, and optimal packing for radiation shielding, minimizing voids and enhancing performance.

Q: How can weight, size, and dimensions be customized for specific requirements?

A: We provide tailored solutions by adjusting the particle size, total weight, and packaging dimension as per client specifications, accommodating industry-specific needs for thickness from 0.5 mm up to 100 mm and any desired volume.
