Indium Corporation's Dr. Ron Lasky, Senior Technologist, delivers an informative overview of the history of, and insight into the future use of, indium metal in a video available at indiumstg.wpenginepowered.com/blog/phil-zarrow.
As part of the Electronics Assembly with Phil Zarrow series, this video features Lasky and SMT expert Phil Zarrow, President and Principal Consultant for ITM Consulting, discussing historical and unique indium and indium alloy applications.
“Indium Corporation was the first company to find a practical use for indium in the 1930s, and that was for bearing lubricants in aircraft. It was used in solders and fusible alloys,” Lasky explains. “Today, one of the more interesting applications is that indium can be used as a superconductor, and it has a high nuclear cross-section for neutrons, so it's often used in nuclear control rods.”
