Indium is the 49th element in the Mendeleev periodic system, where it is designated by the symbol In (Latin Indium). It is a malleable, fusible, very soft silvery-white metal. Its chemical properties are close to those of aluminum. The most popular semi-finished products are wire, sheet and tube.

Uses

Tubes made of indium are used in the nuclear power industry, where the wide thermal neutron capture cross-section of this metal is important. Lead-silver bearings with an indium surface layer are widespread. They are produced in the following way. A very thin silver layer is electrolyzed onto a steel base to give the bearing a high resistance to fatigue. A layer of ductile lead is deposited on top of the silver layer, and another layer of more ductile indium is deposited on top of the silver layer. The lead and indium alloy is more reliable and harder than each of these metals separately. Then the four-layer bearing (including the steel base) is heated - to allow the indium to diffuse better into the lead layer. The lead then diffuses into the indium layer. The thickness of the lead-layer is designed so that even after heating, the bearing's working coating is, if not purely indium-rich, then considerably indium-rich.

Storage

Indium products are stored indoors in the manufacturer's original packaging, protected from contact with aggressive media and dust. The warranty shelf life is 5 years in the original packaging.
