Low Melt Fusible Alloy 60
Precision Low-Temperature Alloy
Fusible Low Melt Alloy 60 is a carefully engineered low melting point alloy designed for applications that require precise temperature control and excellent casting behaviour. Also commonly known as “Fields Metal” after Simon Quellen Field, this alloy offers smooth melting and solidification characteristics, making it highly suitable for intricate moulds, tooling applications, and detailed prototype work.
