Indium plating
Due to its properties, indium coating has several industrial applications. Indium has a low melting point and vapor pressure. It is a very soft metal and thus it is easily customizable. It also has friction-reducing properties and can be cold soldered.
Features
- Very soft, shiny, silver-white metal
- Suitable for e.g. for coating aircraft bearings
- In the electronics and semiconductor industries, e.g. transistors, thin film applications, LCD displays and electroluminescent panels
- As an alloying element in low temperature melting metals
- Hardness 0.9 to 1.0 Brinell
