Indium product application and overview
Oct 25, 2021
Halides of indium, such as indium iodide, are commonly used as additives in metal halide lamps to enhance the output power of lighting and improve the quality of the spectrum.
Indium Ingot: Trapezoid, smooth surface, white, with metallic luster, mainly used in the manufacture of various alloys, special welding, coating, electronic products and the production of high-purity indium.
Indium trioxide: light yellow, used in fluorescent screens, glass, ceramics, chemical reagents, etc.
Indium hydroxide: used in batteries, glass, ceramic chemicals, etc.
High-purity trimethyl indium: white crystalline crystal, mainly used as raw material for epitaxial growth of indium-containing compounds and semiconductor optoelectronic functional materials in GAEHI process.
High-purity indium chloride: colorless or white powder, mainly used in phosphors, III-V compound semiconductors, low-voltage nano-lamps, manganese dry batteries, mercury-free negative electrodes, (zinc) anti-corrosion additives, and ITO transparent batteries.
Indium is a doping element in germanium transistors and is used in the largest amount in the production of PNP germanium transistors.
The use of indium in new applications is also growing at a rate of 10%-20% per year.
Due to its softer nature, it is also used for pressure cracking in certain industries that require metal filling. For example: vacuum filling material at higher temperature.
