Other uses include making custom-shaped apertures and blocks (for example, electron-beam cutouts and lung blocks) for medical radiation treatment, and making casts of keys that are hard to otherwise duplicate.
Like other fusible alloys, e.g. Roses metal, Woods metal can be used as a heat-transfer medium in hot baths. Hot baths with Roses and Woods metals are not used routinely but are employed at temperatures above .
Wood's metal has a modulus of elasticity of 12.7 GPa and a yield strength of 26.2 MPa.
