low alpha

Most circuit board manufacturers stopped using lead solder. The only ones that still use lead are the Chineese.
 

No, what I'm saying is that U.S. circuit boards are stamped RoHas compliant are lead free. Some cheap boards still use lead.
 

Do you still have several tons of low alpha lead?
 

Can any one tell me if there still is a market for this stuff or should we continue to make diving wieghts out of it???
ZDD
 

Right now there is a ammo shortage in the USA.ammo reloaders will pay more than scrap prices for it.

I know this thread is old and the post I'm quoting is from 2011 but I wanted to clarify what low alpha metals are used for. A couple of examples are listed below.

From an article By Jed Ouelbaum:

"Low-background metals — most famously steel and lead — are valuable because they carry particularly low levels of radiation compared with most conventional materials. Used as shielding in advanced particle physics projects and for medical science devices like X-ray chambers, these metals won’t interfere with specialized, highly radiation-sensitive environments and tools."

I think an issue may be proving the alpha level, so you know what you are selling.

Good Luck!
