The melting point of this alloy is 196° F. The alloy is rather costly because of the amount of bismuth which it contains. The following mixtures are cheaper:
| I | II | III | IV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tin | 1 | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| Lead | 1 | 5 | 1.5 | 2 |
| Bismuth | 2 | 8 | 3 | 5 |
| Antimony | — | — | — | 1 |
