Flexbar Corporation
Fixturing Alloy, 1 lb.Cake 158 degree Low Melt
-
- Reusable low-temperature melting Alloy (158°F) for supporting thin-walled sections which require machining.
- No. 15158 does not shrink upon solidification rather it exhibits slight “growth” so that it locks into the part being machined.
- After machining you simply melt it out in hot water.
- It melts at 54°F below boiling point of water so that when you go to use it you simply put it in a cast iron, stainless steel or porcelain lined pot and into hot water bath to melt it.
- Reusable many times
- No drosses created owing to low heat required prior to pouring it.
- USES
- Anchoring
- Chucks, jigs and fixtures
- Dies and punches
- Models and patterns
Other uses:
- Heat transfer
- Tempering
- Sheet plastic curing
- Vulcanizing
- Dyeing
- Tube Bending (replaces other material such as lead, tar,sand and rosin) which have disadvantages such as flammability – difficulty of removal – inadequacy to fill void fully, etc. Plated tubes can be bent without flaking of surface. As a tube filler it allows tubes to be bent-swaged-rolled-or drawn.
- Reveals pin holes or cracks owing to liquidity of No. 15158, also thin sections revealed by slight expansion of No. 15158 upon solidification.
- Bending procedures and other data as well as Do’s and Don’t’s included with material.
