What are Fusible or Low Melt Point Alloys?
- Alloys containing bismuth, other elements in fusible alloys are lead, tin, cadmium, and indium
- Fusible alloys can expand by 3.3% volume when setting from liquid to solid
- Fusible alloys have unusually low melting temperatures
Common Uses for Fusible Alloys
- Work holding: tube and pipe bending, optical lens, turbine blade machining
- Medical Field: blocking for radiation therapy
- Molds: dental application, plaster, plastics and encapsulating
- Solder: safety devices used in fire protection equipment
- Transportation: plugs in compressed gas tanks for large trucks
