Flexbar 15158 | Fixturing Alloy | 1 lb Cake, Melts at 158 °F
Flexbar 15158 is a 1 lb cake of reusable low-temperature Fixturing Alloy that melts at 158 °F. It supports thin-walled parts during machining: instead of shrinking as it solidifies it grows slightly, locking into the workpiece, and afterwards it is melted out in hot water. It is also used as a tube filler for bending, swaging, rolling or drawing tubes.
Key features
- Melting point of 158 °F, 54 °F below the boiling point of water
- Slight expansion on solidification grips the part
- Melted in a cast iron, stainless steel or porcelain-lined pot in a hot water bath
- Reusable many times with no dross
- Tube-bending filler that allows plated tubes to be bent without flaking
- Can reveal pin holes and cracks
