Fusibility
Except in a few instances, all solids which can bear a high temperature without suffering a chemical change may be melted. Even carbon has been partially fused before the oxyhydrogen blowpipe. Most solids when heated to fusing-point change at once into perfect liquids; whilst others, such as platinum, iron, glass, etc., pass through an intermediate pasty condition before they are perfectly fluid, making it difficult to determine the exact fusing-point. See MALLEABLE IRON.

Fusible Alloys
Important: Safety Warning This page describes trade processes that use dangerously toxic materials such as cyanide solutions, mercury amalgams, or strong acids. These processes require training, equipment, and precautions far beyond what the text describes. This information has been left in for historical purposes but should not be acted upon. Fusible alloys are composed principally of bismuth, tin, and lead, and the proportions in which they are alloyed determine the temperature at which they will melt. An alloy of bismuth 8, lead 5, tin 3, when fused together, melts at 212 deg. F.; one of bismuth 2, lead 5, tin 3, like the other, will melt in boiling water, or 212 deg. F.; and one of lead 3, tin 2, bismuth 5, melts at 197 deg. F. Wood's patent fusible metal, cadmium 3, tin 4, lead 8, bismuth 15, melts at 150 deg. F. Other fusible alloys which bear a particular name will be found in their places. As all fusible metals, including lead, tin, zinc, antimony, bismuth, etc., and their alloys, melt at a much lower temperature than iron, ladles or pots of that substance may be used for melting them in without any intervening lining. See BISMUTH; TIN; LEAD; ANTIMONY; CADMIUM; ALLOYS.

Fusion
in ordinary language, the act of fusing, melting, or rendering liquid by means of heat; or the state of being melted or liquefied by means of heat. In politics, the term is used of the union of opposing parties for a common end. If a ticket should contain the names of members of two political parties with a view of securing for that ✓FUSISPORIUM ticket enough votes to defeat a nominee of a third party at an election, that fusion ticket." In would be called a " chemistry, every substance begins to fuse at a certain temperature, which is invariable for each of them if the pressure be constant. Whatever be the intensity of the source of heat, from the moment fusion commences the temperature of the body ceases to rise, and remains constant till the fusion is complete. or Some bodies have a definite fusing melting point, as mercury at-38.8°; ice. +0; butter, +33; phosphorus, +44; sulphur, + 114; tin, 114; tin, + 228; lead, +335; 450; silver, + zinc, + 422; antimony, + 1,000; gold, + 1,250; and iron, + 1,500. Some have no definite point of fusion, vitmelting gradually. This is called reous fusion.
