What distinguishes Galinstan® from the basic formulation?andreas2025-07-26T10:16:59+02:00
The basic formula is defined in rather academic terms; Galinstan® is a trademarked, stabilised version.
Can Galinstan be used as a 1:1 replacement for mercury?andreas2025-07-26T10:17:23+02:00
In many applications (e.g. thermometers, contact materials), yes. In others (e.g. barometers), the higher surface tension is disadvantageous.
What does eutectic alloy mean in relation to Galinstan?andreas2025-07-26T10:17:49+02:00
A eutectic is an alloy with a precisely defined composition ratio, in which the mixture has a minimum melting point. Galinstan® melts at −19 °C, even though its individual components have higher melting points.
