ALLOY 70 / ALLOY 158

Melting Range: 70-76 Deg. C. / 158-169 Deg. F.
Contains: Bi, Pb, Sn, Cd
Forms: Ingot, Preform, Wire

A traditional and still important use of the  Alloy 70  is in tube and section bending for which it needs to be quenched to bring it to the best condition for process; with a melting point well below 100°C, its advantage over alternative alloys lies in the simple, low cost melt out techniques that can be used. Other uses include work-holding, fusible core applications, radiation shielding and fusible safety devices.
