IN0983 Indium wire (in wire form)

Indium Wire Description

Indium wire is produced using indium metal of high purity. It is manufactured under controlled conditions. It demonstrates measured formability and thermal conductivity. Its melting point is approximately 157°C. It exhibits a high degree of ductility. It is used in soldering applications in the electronics and semiconductor sectors. It connects sensitive components. Research laboratories use it for experimental setups. Medical devices and aerospace technology also use it. Stanford Advanced Materials supplies indium wire that meets industrial specifications for conductivity, purity and performance.

Typical Applications of Indium Wire

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) Applications

According to the pie chart, ITO represents the largest segment of the indium market. It is used for ITO sputtering targets. Glass substrates receive ITO coatings in liquid crystal display technology. It functions as a light filter in low-pressure sodium vapour lamps.
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) Sputtering Targets
ITO coatings are applied on glass in LCD technology
consequently, they serve as light filters in low-pressure sodium vapour lamps

Applications of Pure Indium Metal

- Thin layers are applied to form lubricating coatings
- It is used to create alloys with low melting points. For example, an alloy of 24% indium and 76% gallium is liquid at room temperature
- It is used for vacuum seals and thermal interface materials
- It is used in control rods for nuclear reactors. Typically, the alloy consists of 80% silver, 15% indium and 5% cadmium

Copper-Indium-Gallium Selenide (CIGS) Application
Thin-film solar cells or high-efficiency photovoltaic cells utilise it
Indium Compounds
- Indium antimonide - Indium phosphide - Indium nitride
