Default low melting point metal

Hello!

I just want to know which metals have low melting points in the range
of 400 to 600 degrees Celcius?

Various alloys of tin, lead, antimony, bismuth.

Micro Mark sells such metal ingots in a couple of melting temps.

Hmmmmm, that's not low temp.

This is low:

Good luck.

I believe the stuff is Cerrobend or Cerromatrix

Sounds like it's the same alloys called Cerrobend in the US.

The OP asked about metals melting in the 400C to 600C range, Cerrobend
at least melts about 70C, as marked on my ingot.

You can get lower melting point alloys as there are indium alloys which
are replacements for mercury at room temps.

Also google for "Kaye and Laby", which will get data from the UK National
Physical Laboratory (sort of like the US National Bureau of Standards).

Ummm, 600 Celsius/Centigrade is 1112 F. Four hundred C. is 752 F.

Interesting. Looks like there is only one actual elemental metal in the
400-600 range,
plus one "metalloid" element.

I'm assuming that the OP is asking about elemental metals and not alloys?

Hint to the OP---try a Google for "melting point of metals". It's a lot
quicker than posting here
and waiting for replies.
