A fusible alloy is a metal alloy capable of being easily fused, i.e. easily meltable, at relatively low temperatures. Fusible alloys are commonly, but not necessarily, eutectic alloys. Sometimes the term "fusible alloy" is used to describe alloys with a melting point below 183 °C (361 °F; 456 K). Fusible alloys in this sense are used for solder.
Wood's metal, also known as Lipowitz's alloy or by the commercial names Cerrobend, Bendalloy, Pewtalloy and MCP 158, is a metal alloy that is useful for soldering and making custom metal parts, but its fumes are toxic, as well as being toxic on skin exposure. The alloy is named for Barnabas Wood, who invented and patented the alloy in 1860.
Rose's metal, Rose metal or Rose's alloy is a fusible alloy with a low melting point. Rose's metal consists of 50% bismuth , 25–28% lead and 22–25% tin . Its melting point is between 94 and 98 °C (201 and 208 °F).

This alloy presents a density of 8.58 g/cm 3, tensile strength of 43 MPa, toughness of 14HB, eutectic temperature of 331 K (58 °C; 136.4 °F), thermic coefficient of expansion of 12.8×10 −6 /K. It is used to parts where precision is necessary, as in inspections, and fusible cores to wax patterns compounds.
A flattop grill being used is located on the right. A flattop grill is a cooking appliance that resembles a griddle but performs differently because the heating element is circular rather than straight (side to side). This heating technology creates an extremely hot and even cooking surface, as heat spreads in a radial fashion over the surface ...
Goat Cheese, Pecan, and Mixed Green Salad. This premade salad consists of mixed greens, pecans, dried cranberries, bell peppers, tomatoes, red onions, and goat cheese with a honey vinaigrette. The ...
Thermal fuses are usually found in heat-producing electrical appliances such as coffeemakers and hair dryers. They function as safety devices to disconnect the current to the heating element in case of a malfunction (such as a defective thermostat) that would otherwise allow the temperature to rise to dangerous levels, possibly starting a fire.
