Description

AIM 174 is a low melting temperature alloy. It has a melt temperature of 174°F (79°C). AIM fusible alloys contain bismuth, lead, tin, cadmium, or indium. They are also known as low melting alloys. Low melting alloys have a composition that allows the metal to form into a liquid or semi-liquid state at low temperatures and then re-solidify. This makes them ideal for joining or casting parts at temperatures lower than 300 degrees. Solder 174 is a common composition of alloys. It has the following composition: *26 wt% of In *17 wt% of Sn *57 wt% of Bi It has a eutectic temperature of 352 K (79 °C; 174.2 °F).
