I want to make lead counterweights using cylindrical aluminum-bronze Acme nuts at the center. Can I pour melted lead into a form in which the Acme nut is centered and get the lead to bond to the bronze nut? How about pre-heating the bronze and/or using soldering flux?
I have two Acme nuts 3" long and was going to slice them into 1" long sections with a final weight diameter of 8" or 9".
The mount capacity is about 300#, the Acme counterweight shaft is 1.5"-5 thread.
