description Product Description
Wood's metal is widely used in various industrial applications due to its low melting point and unique properties. It is commonly employed as a fusible alloy in fire sprinkler systems, where it acts as a thermal fuse. When exposed to high temperatures, the metal melts, triggering the release of water to extinguish fires. Additionally, it is utilized in precision casting and mold-making processes, particularly for creating intricate shapes in jewelry and dental applications. Wood's metal is also used in safety devices, such as thermal switches and circuit breakers, where it ensures automatic shutdown in case of overheating. In laboratories, it serves as a heat transfer medium in specialized equipment due to its stable thermal conductivity.
