What you will receive You will receive a 2ml glass vial of high quality Fields metal that is in a blob form. As seen in pictures. Sweet Stocking stuffer, Christmas gift Great chemistry gift Amazing science gift Sweet Teacher gift The Facts This sample is ideal for fun collectors on the cheap or those conducting experiments. Fields metal is a silvery-white metallic low melting metal. A fusible alloy that becomes liquid at approximately 62 °C (144 °F). It is named after its inventor, Simon Quellen Field. It is a eutectic alloy of bismuth, indium, and tin, 32.5% Bi, 51% In, 16.5% Sn. Field's metal can be melted in hot water. Field's metal is expensive, due to the price of indium, which makes up over half its mass. However, as it contains neither lead nor cadmium, it is a less toxic alternative to Wood's metal (another low melting alloy). Used for die casting and rapid prototyping. This is high quality yet cheap affordable Low melting alloy. Safety / Caution Keep out of reach from children! Remember that it is 144 degrees HOT when liquid when you are handling it.
