Bismuth, a brittle, crystalline metal with a silvery-white hue, possesses unique characteristics that apply to various industries. Known for its low thermal conductivity and high electrical resistance, bismuth is widely utilized in diverse domains.
Bismuth is commonly used in alloys with other metals such as lead, tin, and cadmium to create materials with low melting points, making them suitable for applications like fire sprinklers, fuses, and solders. Due to its low toxicity compared to other heavy metals, bismuth is an essential component in pharmaceuticals, particularly in medications for stomach ailments and as an ingredient in cosmetics and pigments. Additionally, it serves in producing certain types of ceramics and catalysts and as a component in some superconductors, showcasing its versatility across several industries.
