Abstract:
A low melting eutectic alloy having a melting point of -15.degree. C. or below, consisting of a ternary gallium, indium, and tin eutectic base alloy of, in weight percent, 65-95% Ga, 5-22% In, Sn in an amount greater than zero percent and up to 11 percent, and inevitable impurities, and at least one further alloying element selected from the group consisting of an amount of Bi effective to raise the fluidity of the alloy and less than 2 weight percent based on the total weight of the alloy, and an amount of Sb effective to increase the oxidation resistance of the alloy and less than 2 weight percent based on the weight of the alloy.
