IN4313 Spherical Indium In Powder

Spherical Indium Powder Description

Spherical Indium Powder is a silver-grey, very soft, fusible metal. Indium is the main raw material for the manufacture of low melting point alloys, bearing alloys, semiconductors, electric light sources, etc. Indium powder can be produced by atomization.

Spherical indium powder refers to spherical indium powder under a scanning microscope. Compared with ordinary indium powder, spherical indium powder has the characteristics of good powder fluidity and high vibration density. It can be well applied and studied in the field of indium products, thermal spraying, and powder metallurgy.

Spherical Indium Powder Applications

Soldering & Electronics Assembly:

Indium is commonly used in solder alloys, especially for high-performance electronic devices, as it improves wetting and reduces the melting temperature of the solder.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs):

Indium is used in heat sinks, thermal pads, and thermal interface materials to improve heat dissipation in electronic devices.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing):

In spherical form, indium powder can be used in metal 3D printing (such as Selective Laser Melting, or SLM) for creating highly conductive parts, especially in niche applications requiring unique thermal or electrical properties.

FAQs

Q1: What is Spherical Indium Powder?

A: Spherical Indium Powder is a fine, spherical powder form of indium, a soft, silvery-white metal with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Its spherical shape enhances flowability and packing density, making it ideal for additive manufacturing, electronic applications, and specialized coatings.

Q2: What is the primary source of indium?

A: Indium is primarily obtained as a by-product of zinc mining, though it is also present in small quantities in other ores such as copper and tin.

Q3: What are the advantages of spherical particles?

A: The spherical shape improves powder flowability, reducing clumping and enhancing the uniformity of coatings and printing layers. This is crucial for processes like 3D printing and thin-film deposition.
