Abstract
IN No. 5, Series B, of the Technical Publications of the International Tin Research and Development Council, E. J. Daniels summarizes existing knowledge of the fusible metals containing tin. The mechanical and creep properties of these materials are dealt with, together with their 'castability', corrosion and applications. Among the latter are mentioned their uses in automatic safety devices for fire alarms, etc. as solders and seals, for making foundry patterns and for the production of hollow bodies by electro-deposition, as fillings for thin-walled tubes to prevent buckling during bending, as tempering baths for steel tools, as matrixalloys for mounting dies and punches, for the metallization of wood and for a number of research purposes.
