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-28.5Pb-14.5Sn-9Sb is a bismuth-base non-eutectic alloy that melts over the low-temperature range of 218-440 F. Its controlled-shrinkage characteristics and low melting temperature make it a valuable industrial tool. It was developed and used originally for making punching dies to produce transformer laminations from silicon sheet steel. Now its many uses include filling blow holes in castings, anchoring dies and non-machinery parts, fixtures, jigs and hold-down bolts in concrete floors.
