Typical Applications of Indium Wire
Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) applications
As the pie chart shows, the rise of the flat panel display industry has made ITO the largest segment of the Indium market, becoming far larger than applications of indium foil, sheet and strip.
-Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) sputtering targets
-ITO layers on glass applied in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology
-Light filter in low-pressure sodium vapor lamps
Pure Indium metal applications
-Thin films to form lubricated layers
-Making particularly low melting point alloys (e.g. an alloy of 24% indium-76% gallium is liquid at room temperature)
-Vacuum seal and thermal interface material
-Control rods for nuclear reactors, typically in the alloy of 80% silver, 15% indium, and 5% cadmium

Indium Wire FAQs
Q1: How is indium wire packaged?
A1: Indium wire is typically packaged in spools, coils, or cut lengths, depending on your order specifications. Packaging is designed to protect the wire from oxidation and contamination during transit and storage.
Q2: How should I store indium wire?
A2: To ensure longevity and quality:
Store in a cool, dry environment
Keep away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and corrosive materials
Use vacuum-sealed or airtight packaging for unused wire
Q3: Can indium wire be used in cryogenic or vacuum environments?
A3: Yes, indium wire is an excellent material for these environments due to its ability to form tight seals and its resistance to oxidation under extreme conditions.
