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.INDALLOY 217-440 is a bismuth-base alloy that can be melted easily. It is a non-eutectic alloy that melts through a temperature range of 217-440 F. Its low melting temperature and controlled-shrinkage characteristics make it a valuable tool of industry for such applications as anchoring non-moving parts in machinery, filling blow holes in castings, split jaw chucks and anchoring hold-down bolts in concrete floors.
