Bismuth-Lead Alloy Solder

Bismuth-Lead Alloy Solder is a type of solder that is commonly used in welding, soldering, and brazing applications. It is classified under the supply class Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, And Brazing Supplies And Accessories, which falls under the supply group Metalworking Machinery.

Bismuth-Lead Alloy Solder is a combination of bismuth and lead, with varying ratios depending on the specific alloy. This type of solder is known for its low melting point, typically ranging from 90°C to 150°C (194°F to 302°F), which makes it suitable for soldering delicate electronic components that are sensitive to high temperatures.

The bismuth content in the alloy helps to lower the melting point and improve the wetting properties of the solder, allowing it to flow more easily and create strong bonds between the soldered surfaces. The lead content provides additional strength and durability to the solder joint.

Bismuth-Lead Alloy Solder is commonly used in electronics manufacturing, plumbing, and other applications where a low-temperature soldering process is required. It is important to note that due to the presence of lead, proper safety precautions should be taken when working with this type of solder to prevent lead exposure.
