AIM 47 Fusible Bismuth Alloy

Uses: low-temperature solder; fixturing delicate parts for machining; lens blocking; proof casting of cavities; dental models; fusible element in safety devices and alarms; radiation blocking for x-rays.These silvery white alloys expand only ~3.3% of their volume when changing from liquid to solid form, which makes these alloys ideal for many industrial applications. AIM fusible alloys are rarely consumed in an operation and therefore can be remelted and used multiple times. These alloys are normally used in gravity casting but also can be used in other casting methods.Information provided by AIM Specialty Materials.
