Wood's metal

Wood's metal has also been used as a low-temperature alternative.

For this use the tubing is filled with molten Wood's metal.

Its other uses are similar to Wood's metal.

The low melting temperature of Wood's metal makes it unlikely this will harm the original.

It is also found in some of the lowest-melting alloys, such as Wood's metal.

The Wood's metal is then removed by heating, often by boiling in water.

Wood's metal, an alloy that melts very easily, has cadmium in it.

Wood's metal is also useful for repairing antiques.

As it contains neither lead nor cadmium, it is a non-toxic alternative to Wood's metal.

Wood's metal is commonly used as a filler when bending thin-walled metal tubes.

The diamond blade is then mounted into a soft metal shaft (Wood's metal) and finally polished to a very sharp edge.

For example, a bent piece of sheet metal may be repaired by casting a Wood's metal die from a good example.

Wood's metal has long been used by model railroad enthusiasts to add weight to locomotives, increasing traction, and the number of cars that can be pulled.

Wood's metal is also used in the making of extracellular electrodes for the electro-physiological recording of neural activity.

Hot baths with Rose's and Wood's metals are not in routine use but are employed for temperatures above 220 C.

Wood's metal or Field's metal: low-melting point metal alloys to incorporate electrical circuits into the part as it is being formed.

Medical gas cylinders in the UK and other countries have a seal of Wood's metal between the valve block and the cylinder body.

Like other fusible alloys, e.g. Rose's metal, Wood's metal can be used as a heat transfer medium in hot baths.

Wood's metal is toxic because it contains lead and cadmium, and therefore contact with the bare skin is thought to be harmful, especially in the molten state.

Because the relatively high melting temperature of tin-lead solder can damage many crystals, a low-melting-point (well under 200 F) alloy such as Wood's metal was used.

High temperature resistance makes silicone the only mold rubber suitable for casting low melt metals and alloys (e.g. zinc, tin, pewter, and Wood's metal).

Some reasonably well known fusible alloys are Wood's metal, Field's metal, Rose metal, Galinstan, and NaK.

Various fusible alloys can be used as solders with very low melting points; examples include Field's metal, Lipowitz's alloy, Wood's metal, and Rose's metal.

Medical gas cylinders in the United Kingdom have a Wood's metal seal which melts in fire, allowing the gas to escape and reducing the risk of gas explosion.

Through the use of low-melting substances (Wood's metal) has developed methods and devices for automatic balancing of rotors, protected by several patents of the Russian Federation on the invention.
