Bismuth metal is a silver-gray metal with a pink tinge. It refers to heavy metals (density 9.8 g / cm3), easily melts (melting point 271.44 ° C). The metal does not have the ductility and malleability, brittle (easily crushed into powder). Bismuth also has one rare physical property: an increase in density during melting (from 9.8 to 10.07 g / cm3), respectively, its volume increases as it solidifies.
This metal is a very strong diamagnetic (magnetic susceptibility -1.34 x 10-9).
Its mainly used in the metallurgical industry, in particular for the production of low-melting alloys with cadmium, tin and lead. The addition of bismuth significantly improves the properties of many aluminium and iron alloys in terms of their processing. It is also widely used in the electronics, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. On the basis of bismuth produce: pigments, catalysts for chemical reactions (bismuth oxide and bismuth chloride, electronic ceramic materials, semiconductor materials, metallized plastics, antiseptic and healing ointments, glasses with a high refractive index.
Bismuth metal products supplied in the form of ingots (up to 15 kg per ingot) and granules. We offer four main types of metal with different percentages of impurities: Bi-00, Bi-1, Bi-2 and Bi-0000
