Indium Alloy
|
Indium alloys expand slightly as they solidify, pushing into the crevices of a mold to produce detailed replicas. These alloys are useful for repairing dies, creating fusible links, and holding delicate parts for machining. They also have a low melting temperature so they can be cast in molds made from glass, quartz, mica, and ceramic.

Sheets
 |
Use sheets to make parts that draw corrosion away from nearby metal in water tanks, heat exchangers, and marine applications. They meet MIL-A-18001 for chemical composition, so they break down faster than other types of metal. Attach them directly to the materials you want to protect.
Bar Solder for Food Service Equipment
 |
This solder is commonly used in solder melting pots. It's composed of pure tin, so it is safe for use with food service equipment. This solder does not have a flux core, so you can choose the flux that works best for your application.
Lead-Free—Lead-free solder is safer to use than leaded solder and helps meet industry regulations.
