Specifications
  • This remarkable alloy melts at just 61¼C, but does not contain lead or cadmium
  • It is relatively hard and extremely tough
  • It is used, for example, to fill small tubes for bending without crushing, castings for models and jewellery, and for making precision moulds
  • Fields metal makes a fantastic demonstration of how several constituents, each with a much higher melting point, can be combined to produce a useable alloy
  • Demonstration use is recommended ‐ Indium is a potentially toxic material if ingested
  • Before using a risk assessment should be carried out
  • Pack Size: 10gField's Metal could be used along with moulds made from Chromatic Alginate (available separately)
