Indium Metal
Indium Metal is extracted from indium bearing based metal ores and refined to various grades in high volume utilizing state of the art SPC controlled refining technologies. Rigorous quality standards and advanced analytical instrumentation such as ICP and GDMS, insures consistent product quality lot to lot.
General Properties and Applications of Commercial Grade Indium
Indium is versatile metal with unique physical properties. Following a some of the unique properties of indium and a sampling of innovative applications for the metal:
-Indium has a lot metlgin point of 157 degrees C but a high boiling point of 2080 degrees C; one of the highest liquidus temperature range of any metal.
-Indium has a low vapor pressure making it ideal for use in high vacuum applications.
-Indium is soft, pliable and malleable, even down to cryogenic temperatures approaching absolute zero. It will form a hermetic gasket seal between two mating metal parts. Being soft, indium will deform and fill
in the microstructure of two mating parts, pressed together using moderate pressure. Similarly, indium can be used as an efficient thermal conductive interface in electronics.
-Indium has relatively low toxicity.
-Indium is a bright shiny metal that forms a thin (80-100 angstroms) protective oxide layer. It is used as a decorative trim coating metallization on plastics used in appliance and automobile trim.
-Indium will cold weld to itself, useful for bonding parts or assemblies together.
-Indium effectively reduces the melting point in solder alloys and fusible alloys.
-Indium in small percentages improves the thermal fatigue performance of solders used in electronics assembly.
-Indium will bond to glass quartz and certain ceramics and oxides.
-Indium will compensate for differing thermal coefficients of expansion of mating parts.
-Used in small amounts, indium will harden certain metals and alloys; hardens gold used in electronics and dental alloys.
-Indium coatings will provide lubricity in sleeve bearings such as used in aircraft pison engines and industrial machinery.
-Indium is a neutron absorber and is used in radiation detection badges.

Solar Tabbing Products
Tabbing ribbon kits come with everything you need to evaluate how Indium Corporation materials will work with your solar cells and assembly process. The kits can be used to:
-Evaluate which tabbing ribbon size is best for your design
-Determine which flux is best for your operation
-Experiment with new solder coating alloys
-Assemble a few solar panels
If you want to quickly find what assembly materials will work best for you, there is no better assortment of supplies. Kits are available in:
-Standard 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag
-Pb-free 96Sn/4Ag
-Low-temp Pb-free 58Bi/42Sn coatings
The ribbon itself is industry standard CDA 110 (99.9% Cu) core flat wire, coated with a precisely controlled layer of solder. Each ribbon is manufactured using our proprietary softening process so you can increase the yield of your stringing process.
In addition, all kits include:
-a spool of matching bus ribbon
-flux pens with an assortment of fluxes, including VOC-free, rosin-based, and resin based
Solder Fortification
Solder Fortification preforms are used in conjunction with solder paste to give more volume (and therefore more strength) to the solder join that can be achieved through the printing process. This increases the reliability of the joint on the first pass, reducing rework time. It will also give additional strength needed for certain components or connections helping to reduce field failures.
Solder Research Kits
At Indium Corporation we have created a strong research and development team that has made us a top solder manufacturer with global resources. We understand the challenges of developing products for today's marketplace and the need to test options quickly and efficiently. One of the key hurdles in product development is being able to test a variety of options at a reasonable cost. With our Research Kits you can select from a variety of options, depending on your requirements, and get your material quickly for prototype testing. If you have questions, you can contact us at askus@indium.com or visit our online chat.
