Elements of Indium by Indium Corporation: Low-Temperature Performance

In celebration of Indium Corporation’s 85th anniversary, the company will release monthly installments of the Elements of Indium Series—an educational program to raise awareness of the unique applications, abundance, and interesting properties of the 49th element.

Indium Corporation is the global leader for indium metal and associated technologies. Because of its unique properties with virtually limitless applications, indium metal is literally all around us.

Not many metals have the ability to performs in harsh low-temperature environments like indium metal can. Traditional metals containing Sn or Pb fail at cryogenic temperatures (<-180°C). Because indium deforms indefinitely under pressure, cryogenic seals made from indium won’t crack or leak in aerospace and other cold, high-vacuum environments.
