158°F Low Melt Fusible Casting Alloy, 5lbs Ingot Cerrolow, Bolton, Bend Metal

Description

This is a Bismuth based Eutectic low melting alloy used very often to bend tubes and rolled or extruded shapes. This alloy which is normally used for tubes up to 2-1/2" Diameter allows them to be bent or formed to the desired shape without any kinks. Without using this material the tubes or shapes may kink or bend irregularly. It can also be used for work-holding, fusible safety devices and low temperature soldering.
