The Facts
This sample is ideal for fun collectors on the cheap or those conducting experiments.
•Fields metal is a silvery-white metallic low melting metal.
•A fusible alloy that becomes liquid at approximately 62 °C (144 °F).
•It is named after its inventor, Simon Quellen Field.
•It is a eutectic alloy of bismuth, indium, and tin, 32.5% Bi, 51% In, 16.5% Sn.
•Field's metal can be melted in hot water.
• Field's metal is expensive, due to the price of indium, which makes up over half its mass. However, as it contains neither lead nor cadmium, it is a less toxic alternative to Wood's metal (another low melting alloy).
•Used for die casting and rapid prototyping.
This is high quality yet cheap affordable Low melting alloy.
