Understanding Indium Metal: Properties and Importance
The Earth's crust contains indium, a rare metal with a silver color and shiny qualities. Because it is softer than plastic and lead, it can be bent into nearly any shape and scratched with ease. The amount of indium present in the crust of the Earth is roughly 0.1 parts per million, or ppm.
Nowadays, the use of Indium metals is increasing day by day as it is used in various things, such as:
Casting for high-speed motor bearing
Transistor manufacturing
Thermistors
Photoconductors
Rectifiers and reflective mirrors
Used in medical devices
Solar cells
Used as lubricants
Indium is a valuable metal due to its ability to cling to clean surfaces, making it useful in producing hermetic sealsand coating aircraft engine bearings.
It is also used in nuclear reactors to measure thermal neutron flux and monitor neutrons for personnel and equipment protection.
These advantages make indium metal very crucial for modern technology, particularly in electronics, solar energy, and aerospace applications.
Low Melting Point
Extremely Malleable Andhighly Ductile
Corrosion Resistance
Electric Conductivity
Bonding Ability
Environmental Stability
This metal has very special qualities; indium is valuable in the metal industry and has a variety of uses.
To make a better quality of Indium metal, it is combined with other metals such as tin, lead, and zinc. Because of their low melting points, indium alloys are utilized in solders, bearings, and fusible metals.
The production of electronics frequently uses solders based on indium. They are perfect for fragile parts and heat-sensitive materials because they offer sturdy, dependable joints at low temperatures.
Indium coats or plates other metals to stop corrosion, especially in high-vacuum settings or cryogenic systems where a pliable, soft layer is required to form seals.
Indium is utilized as a thermal interface material in heat management applications to enhance heat dissipation in high-power electronics, semiconductors, and LEDs.
Indium metal creates a strong and long-lasting bond between metals and glass, ceramics, and other non-metallic materials, and this makes it very useful for metal industries.
Due to their extremely unique characteristics, indium metals are always in great demand in Indian markets. However, in order to meet the needs of its industries, India imports indium rather than producing it on a significant scale domestically.
Indium has a demanding market in India in a variety of industries, including electronics, semiconductors, renewable energy, and medical equipment. This is especially true given the government's continuous efforts to promote clean energy and high-tech production.
Demanding challengesfor Indium in India, Jaytee Alloys & Components Limited always comes forward to fulfill the high demand for Indium Metal. This company supplies a complete portfolio of products such as high-purity indium ingots, indium alloys, indium wire, and indium tin oxide (ITO), among others. Applications for its products include electronics, solar energy, and medical equipment.
The price of Indium metal can fluctuate based on global supply and demand, purity levels, and market trends. As of current market insights, the Indium metal price per kg in India for high purity grades (e.g., 99.995%) generally ranges from approximately ₹50,000 per kilogram.
Please note that these are approximate prices and are subject to change. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, especially for bulk quantities and specific purities, it is always recommended that Jaytee Alloys be contacted directly.
Factors influencing Indium prices include:
Higher purity indium (e.g., 5N, 6N, 7N) commands a premium price.
Ingots, wires, foils, powders, or specific alloy compositions can have varying costs.
The growing demand from the electronics, solar, and display industries heavily influences prices.
Indium is primarily a byproduct, and its availability can be affected by the production of its primary metals (zinc and tin).
At Jaytee Alloys, we are committed to providing superior quality Indium metal and alloys with exceptional customer service. Here's why we are your preferred partner:
Available in 0.5mt,1.0mt, 2mt ,5mt, 10 mt, with dia 0.5mm, O.7mm.1.0mm,1.5mm,2.0mm and more. It is widely used to create high vacuum seals in cryogenic apparatus for making seals where radial space is very limited. Its other uses are low melting point solder, vacuum seals, cryostates, dilution refrigerators, optical windows, Lasers, cryo coolers, cold heads thermal links.
Indium Foil is made by high purity Indium which is very soft and shape able metal, it has great thermal conductivity used in efficient heat sink for high temperature, cryogenic applications and thermal interface materials which means they have a very high conductivity as compared to polymer based thermal interface materials. Its ductility and thermal conductivity make it ideal as a compressible thermal interface material. Indium foil available in 50-, 100- and 200-micron etc. in various length and widths without grease, oil and contamination. Indium foil is packed inside plastic sheet to make sure the shape, size and suitable for transportation.
Indium oxide is used in some types of batteries, thin film infrared reflectors transparent for visible light (hot mirrors), some optical coatings and some antistatic coatings. In combination with tin dioxide, indium oxide forms indium tin oxide (also called tin doped indium oxide or ITO), a material used for transparent conductive coatings in semiconductors, indium oxide can be used as an n-type semiconductor used as a resistive element in integrated circuits. Availability in 5 gm, 10 gm, 25gm, 50, gm and 100 gm packing.
