Applications of indium, physical and mechanical properties.
Technical characteristics
The density of indium at 20 °C is 7.31 g/cm3. It is soluble in almost all acids, resistant to alkali solutions, easily reacts with chlorine and bromine, and when heated - with sulfur phosphorus vapor, iodine. The critical temperature of superconductivity is t° 3.405°K. Indium can withstand heat up to 800 ° C, but after that it flashes a violet-blue flame.

Usage
An acceptor additive to germanium or silicon for the production of microelectronic circuits. Fusible solders: Due to the outstanding adhesion of indium to many materials, it is possible to solder metal to glass, for example. Coating headlights or mirrors with indium makes them as reflective as silver and much more resistant to weathering. Indium is part of "blue gold". It is used in photocells, liquid crystal monitors, thermocouple calibrations and as a phosphor. Indium coating of aluminum skirts of diesel pistons reduces their wear. Isotopes 111In and 113In are used in radioisotope diagnostics. Isotope 115In is used for detecting neutrinos with the threshold energy of 120 keV. It is an indispensable material for sealing coatings, gaskets, sealing of vacuum equipment, creation of high energy-capacity accumulators.
