Tin alloys

Description

Tin alloys are usually composed of 90-92% tin, 2-8% antimony, 2% cadmium, 4-6% lead and 0.25% copper. They melt in the range of 290-350 C to form a low viscosity fluid that is good for making detailed molds. Tin alloys tend to be hard, have good strength and are not usually brittle.
