Many manufacturers have discovered that investment casting is an excellent choice for producing precision cast parts with fusible alloys. Such alloys exhibit comparatively low melting points, below 450° F. This, along with other properties like good thermal conductivity, makes them excellent alloys for a wide variety of applications, from fire sprinklers and temperature-relieve devices to complex aerospace components, laboratory equipment, electronic instruments and much more. Tin, lead, bismuth, and other metals are examples of fusible alloys. Some common ones are Field’s metal, Cerrosafe, and Rose’s metal, to name just a few.
