You ned to speak with an apps engineer from a paste supplier that can go through their alloys. I know Indium has such alloys. Any vendor should be able to supply you a list of alloys avbl in NC paste with their liquidous points.

We used type 4 no clean from Aim too with this application. The price was only about 20 % more than type 3 powder. Works great. They didn't have a long leadtime, my paste was in stock. I have had simalar problems with Indium. They got too big too fas
