Indium Metal (In)-Ingot
Product Description
Indium is very soft, ductile (can be stretched), and malleable (can be compressed). It has a relatively low melting point (~313.9°F).
Properties:
Appearance:silvery lustrous gray
Melting point:429.7485 K (156.5985 °C, 313.8773 °F)
Boiling point:2345 K (2072 °C, 3762 °F)
Density (near r.t.):7.31 g/cm3
Application
Indium is a minor component in zinc sulfide ores and is produced as a byproduct of zinc refinement. It is most notably used in the semiconductor industry, in low-melting-point metal alloys such as solders, in soft-metal high-vacuum seals, and in the production of transparent conductive coatings of indium tin oxide (ITO) on glass. Indium is considered a technology-critical element.
