Bismuth

Bismuth Overview

Bismuth is a common alloying metal used in both lead and tin-based alloys. It is valued for its low melting point and its ability to expand upon solidification. Many low melting point alloys rely on it for these unique properties.

Applications of Bismuth Alloys

These alloys have many applications. They are widely used in fire detection equipment, thermal fuses, and optical lens grinding. It also serves as a non-toxic substitute for lead in shotgun cartridges and fishing weights due to its high density and low toxicity. This makes it safer for both users and the environment.
