Custom Lead Castings and Lead-Alloy Components

MTH Metall-Technik Halsbrücke GmbH & Co. KG is a specialist in the processing and casting of lead and lead alloys. With around 170 years of experience in handling lead, we manufacture customer-specific cast components ranging from simple shapes to complex technical parts.

Our casting capabilities include different manufacturing methods and can be combined with subsequent machining and assembly processes.

Our services include:

• Lead casting and hand casting
• Continuous casting
• Casting of customer-specific geometries
• Processing of different lead alloys
• Spectrometric material analysis
• CNC machining after casting
• 3D waterjet cutting
• Lead welding and joining
• Bonding with steel or aluminium
• Surface finishing and coating
• Assembly of finished components and subassemblies

MTH manufactures both individual parts, prototypes and series components. Depending on the application, cast parts can be supplied as raw castings or fully machined and ready for installation.

The high density, excellent castability and shielding properties of lead make cast components suitable for a broad range of technical applications, including:

• Radiation shielding components
• X-ray and inspection technology
• Medical and research equipment
• Security and detection systems
• Balancing and counterweights
• Machine and equipment construction
• Energy and nuclear applications
• Customer-specific industrial components

A major strength of MTH is the combination of casting and downstream manufacturing processes. Cast lead components can be machined on modern CNC equipment to achieve precise dimensions and demanding geometries. The company also uses modern spectrometry to verify lead alloys and ensure consistent material quality.

MTH therefore offers much more than a conventional foundry service. We can support customers from the initial 3D model or drawing through alloy selection, casting and machining to the finished component or complete assembly.

Our particular expertise lies in applications where standard lead products are not sufficient and where geometry, alloy, weight, shielding performance or subsequent machining must be adapted precisely to the customer’s requirements.

Whether a one-off special casting, prototype, small batch or repeat series production is required, MTH combines long-standing metallurgical expertise with modern manufacturing technologies.

From alloy and casting geometry to the fully machined lead component – casting, machining and assembly from one source.
