Indium Sulfamate Plating Bath KitIPN: kitea-85502
Price: $650.00
Electroplating Indium onto various materials allows the evaluation of indium's unique properties. For example, two metallic substrates can be electroplated with indium and subsequently bonded together simply by pressing the indium-plated surfaces together. This process utilizes the cold-welding property of indium.
The kit is also useful for plating indium onto small prototype parts prior to scale up. Plating can be performed on any properly prepared substrate metallization such as copper, brass, nickel, gold, tin or mild steel. As with all electrodeposited metals, indium will not deposit onto high refractory metals such as chromium or tungsten. Stainless steel and aluminum metallizations must have special surface treatments prior to electroplating with any metal. Specific information on these surface treatments can be found in most electroplating textbooks.
The kit includes: One 1-litre bottle of ready to use indium sulfamate plating bath, two 1" wide x 0.0625" thick x 12" long pure indium anode strips, Indium Plating Guidebook.
Other items required: a laboratory direct current (DC) rectifier, a small glass or plastic container to be used as the plating tank, Plating pretreatment chemicals, laboratory stirrer
Lead-time: 4-6 working days after receipt of order
Please note that for shipping purposes, product is considered hazardous, a flat fee of $150.00 will be applied at checkout. Details… -

2 Solder Alloys Wire KitIPN: KITEA-85526
Price: $325.00
LEAD-FREE SELECTIONS
Recommended solders include Indalloy numbers 1E, 281, 290, 4, 227, 201, 121, 3, 133, and 182. These alloys are the most popular of the over 20 lead-free solders we offer. Included is our patented lead-free alloy, Indalloy 227 which can be used in place of Sn63, Sn62, and Sn60 because of its comparable melting temperature and equal or superior physical characteristics.
LOW TEMPERATURE SELECTIONS
Recommended solders include Indalloy numbers 136, 42, 1E, 281, 290, 2, and 4. Ranging in liquidus temperatures from 58 degrees C to 157 degrees C, these alloys can be considered for heat sensitive devices or for final soldering in step-soldering applications.
GENERAL PURPOSE SELECTIONS
Recommended solders include Indalloy numbers 42, 1E, 281, 290, 2, 4, 9, 204, Sn62, 205, Sn63, 227, 7, 121, 206, 10, 150, 182, 164 and 171. Liquidus temperatures range from 100 degrees C to 312 degrees C and include several lead-free alloys. These solders are popular for microelectronics and aerospace applications. In applications that involved soldering to gold, use an indium-based alloy if the service temperature is below 125 degrees C. If the service temperature will be above 125 degrees C, Indalloy 182 is recommended.
NON-METAL BONDING SELECTIONS
Recommended solders include Indalloy numbers 1E, 290, 2, 4, and 3. The alloys available for bonding glass, quartz, glazed ceramics, and other non-metal materials, contain indium in varying proportions. Indalloy 4 exhibits the best wetting, while Indalloy 3 and 290 exhibit higher strength due to the hardening effect of the silver, although they do result in slightly decreased wettability. For non-metal bonding, an indium applicator is recommended. An information booklet describes how to use this applicator to form the indium sub-oxide layer required for bonding, as well as when to use flux and when to avoid it. Details… -
