TIN ALLOY SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

 

LOW-TEMP. FUSIBLE ALLOYS
Fusible Alloys melt at temperatures from 117 – 338F. Certain Fusible Alloys have little or no volume change upon solidification, making them valuable for proofing die cavities or making foundry mold patterns. Other alloys expand during solidification, giving good gripping action for anchoring metal fixtures for machining, plastic and glass lenses for surfacing or thin-walled tube bending. Low-temp. alloys are also used for casting fuse links in fire sprinklers and safety plugs as well as radiation oncology shielding blocks. Fusible Alloys come in 2.5  - 5 lb ingots.
