View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.Bismuth-21In- 18Pb- 12Sn is a bismuth-base eurectic alloy that melts at 136 F (57.8 C). It is widely used in industry because of is low melting temperature and its controlled-shrinkage characteristics. It provides the scientist, engineer and technician with an easily castable material that is ready for use soon after it freezes. The alloy can be recovered easily and recycled into new uses any number of times. Among its many applications are (1) Anchoring parts such as jet blades for machining, testing and inspection, (2) In the foundry for fusible cores in compound corse and (3) Low-melting solder.
