low melting point metal

Hello!



I just want to know which metals have low melting points in the range of 400 to 600 degrees Celcius?



Hmmmmm....

Managed to find this place, but can't manage to find what he needs using a search engine.

Can't see him getting a passing mark on that homework assignment at all!

Funny! Sad too!

Various alloys of tin, lead, antimony, bismuth.

Micro Mark sells such metal ingots in a couple of melting temps.

Periodic chart. Get after it.

Yo dude.

Ever heard of google? Try "low melting point metal".

Duh!

Hmmmmm, that's not low temp.

This is low:

Good luck.

I believe the stuff is Cerrobend or Cerromatrix

Sounds like it's the same alloys called Cerrobend in the US.

You can get lower melting point alloys as there are indium alloys which are replacements for mercury at room temps.

Also google for "Kaye and Laby", which will get data from the UK National Physical Laboratory (sort of like the US National Bureau of Standards).

Ummm, 600 Celsius/Centigrade is 1112 F. Four hundred C. is 752 F.

Interesting. Looks like there is only one actual elemental metal in the

400-600 range, plus one "metalloid" element.

I'm assuming that the OP is asking about elemental metals and not alloys?

Hint to the OP---try a Google for "melting point of metals". It's a lot quicker than posting here and waiting for replies.
