Why Custom Radiation Shielding Matters
Introduction Radiation shielding is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every project, whether it is in nuclear research, medical imaging, aerospace, or industrial manufacturing, comes with its own unique challenges. At Mayco Industries, we have seen firsthand how the difference between standard shielding and custom-built protection can impact safety, performance, and cost.…
Lead Shot and Lead Wire for Ammunition
Introduction Lead is still an important material in ammunition manufacturing. From lead shot used in shells to lead wire used in certain specialty processes, consistency and quality matter. At Mayco Industries we supply reloaders, wholesale and retail ammunition suppliers, and ammunition manufacturers. We work with customers to provide material that…
How Lead Alloys Affect Shielding and Machining
Introduction Lead is the baseline for radiation shielding because of its density and atomic number. When you add alloys, you change mechanical properties more than you change shielding. That matters. If you are specifying material for a shield that will be machined, you need to think about both attenuation and…
