Indium Spooled Wire

Indium spooled wire is widely used in various research and industrial applications due to its unique properties such as low melting point, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and malleability. In microelectronics, it enhances flip-chip bonding by improving contact resistance for high-frequency applications. It is also employed in superconducting wire development for low-loss current maintenance. In thermal management, indium's thermal conductivity aids in cooling electronics. Additionally, its ductility and low melting point make it ideal for soldering in aerospace. The latest research has demonstrate its usefulness in energy storage for improved battery efficiency and in additive manufacturing for precision printing in electronics and sensors.
