Product Overview
This high-purity indium foil (99.99% metals basis) is engineered for precision laboratory applications requiring exceptional softness, malleability, and corrosion resistance. With a consistent 0.127mm (0.005in) thickness, it provides uniform performance in critical sealing, gasketing, and thermal interface applications. The foil’s low melting point (156.6°C) and excellent adhesion properties make it ideal for creating hermetic seals in vacuum systems and cryogenic environments. Its ductility allows for easy cold-welding to various substrates without requiring additional adhesives. The material’s high thermal conductivity ensures efficient heat transfer, while its resistance to oxidation maintains long-term stability. Each sheet undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee dimensional accuracy and purity, eliminating contaminants that could compromise experimental integrity. The foil’s non-toxic nature and compatibility with ultra-high vacuum conditions further expand its utility in sensitive research settings. Available in multiple standard sizes to accommodate diverse experimental setups.
FAQs
1. What is the melting point of this indium foil?
The melting point is 156.6°C, which is significantly lower than many other metals, making it useful for low-temperature bonding applications.
2. Can this foil be used for vacuum sealing?
Yes, the high purity and softness make it excellent for creating hermetic seals in vacuum systems and cryogenic applications.
3. How should this indium foil be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place in its original packaging to prevent oxidation. Avoid exposure to moisture or acidic environments.
4. Is this foil compatible with other metals for bonding?
It bonds well with many metals including copper, aluminum, and stainless steel through cold-welding techniques.
5. What alternatives exist for higher temperature applications?
For applications requiring higher temperature resistance, consider gallium or tin-based alloys, though they may not offer the same malleability.
