Description

MCP 70 is a low melting point alloy with a melting point of 70°C. It was introduced to overcome the problem of voids that can form during the slow cooling of the alloy. MCP low melting point alloys melt between 47°C and 300°C. They can be used in applications such as: *Shields for radiotherapy *Investment casting *Proof casting *Sealing or soldering in low-temperature applications Some elements that melt at low temperatures include: Bismuth, Gallium, Tin, Indium, Zinc, Cadmium, Tellurium, Antimony, Thallium, Mercury. Alloying can be used to lower the melting point of a metal. For example, adding lead to tin lowers the melting point of the tin-rich alloy.
