In-Sn Wire Indium and stannum alloy for Vacuum Coating YVIS001

Indium Tin is one of numerous metal alloys sold by our plant, under the tradename AE Alloys™. Indium Tin is available as bar, Ingot, ribbon, wire, shot, sheet, and foil. Ultra high purity and high purity forms also include metal powder, submicron powder and nanoscale, targets for thin film deposition, and pellets for evaporation. Indium Tin is generally immediately available in most volumes. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopeia/British Pharmacopeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.Primary applications include bearing assembly, ballast, casting,step soldering, and radiation shielding.

Indium-tin alloys are useful where lower temperatures are required to protect heat-sensitive components and substrates. The indium-tin eutectic with a sharp melting point has excellent wettability on nonmetallic materials. It also has good low-temperature malleability and compensates for some difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of dissimilar metals. The addition of either metal to the other increases the corrosion resistance of the resulting alloy.
