Eutectic Bismuth-Tin-Silver Alloy BiSn42Ag1
Composition: 57% Bismuth, 42% Tin, and 1% Silver
Form: Pellets
Melting point: 138°C
Density: 8.7 g/cm³
This offer contains the near-eutectic alloy of bismuth and tin in pellets with approx. 25 g piece weight.
They are frequently used as a replacement for lead-containing Rose’s metal. It is an ideal lead-free alternative, as it has nearly identical properties to Rose’s metal (25% lead content). The silver content in the alloy increases strength compared to BiSn42 or Rose’s metal. The melting point is not significantly altered by the silver content and remains at approx. 138 °C.
The alloy can be used for reliable casting of small parts. The low melting point of 138 °C prevents the alloy from solidifying too quickly and allows molds to be filled more effectively. The casting properties are therefore very good. Note the limited cold workability of the alloy, which is due to high brittleness (despite the silver content).
