Wood, is also known as Lipowitz''s alloy or by the commercial names cerrobend, bendalloy or pewtalloy. It is a fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F). It is a eutectic alloy of 50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium by weight. Wood''s metal is useful as a low-melting solder, low-temperature casting metal, high temperature coupling fluid in heat baths, and as a fire-melted valve…mehr

Wood''s metal is useful as a low-melting solder, low-temperature casting metal, high temperature coupling fluid in heat baths, and as a fire-melted valve element in fire sprinkler systems in buildings. Medical gas cylinders in the United Kingdom have a Wood''s metal seal which melts in fire, allowing the gas to escape and reducing the risk of gas explosion. A common use is as a filler when bending thin-walled metal tubes. For this use the tubing is filled with molten Wood''s metal.
