Introduction To Indium Alloys

Nov 20, 2021

With the exception of beryllium and several refractory metals, indium can form various types of alloys with almost all elements in the periodic table.

Indium alloys are generally divided into binary alloys, ternary alloys and multi-element alloys. Generally, indium alloys with indium as the main body have a relatively low melting temperature and are mainly used as some low melting point alloys or solders; some alloys contain very little indium. , Indium mainly plays the role of metamorphism or modification, such as improving the strength of non-ferrous metal alloys, improving its ductility, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and changing the color of precious metals.

The main indium alloys are: bearing alloys, ferromagnetic alloys, memory alloys, decorative alloys, dental and gemstone alloys.
