The metal indium ingot has excellent properties such as good ductility, strong plasticity, low melting point, high boiling point, low resistance and corrosion resistance, and has good light transmittance and electrical conductivity. It is widely used in aerospace, wireless and electronic industry, medical treatment, national defense, high and new technology, energy and other fields. ITO target production (for LCD and flat screen production) is the main consumption area of ingot, accounting for 70% of the world's indium consumption. Second, the semiconductor sector accounts for 12 percent of global consumption. Solder and alloy field accounted for 12%; The research industry accounts for 6%, so let's learn about the use and application of indium ingot.

Due to the good light transmission and electrical conductivity of indium ingot, the glass complex (ITO) of high purity indium oxide and tin oxide is used in the plasma TV and liquid crystal TV screen industry to make transparent conductive electrodes, and also as a sensor for partial gas measurement. 70% of the world's indium consumption is used to produce ITO targets.

Indium, which has high boiling point and low electrical impedance corrosion, is also widely used in electronic semiconductor and wireless industries. A significant portion of the metal indium is used in the manufacture of semiconductor materials. In the wireless and electronics industries, indium is used to make special contact devices that press indium and silver oxides together.

Applications in the field of indium ingot and alloy Many alloys can be mixed with a small amount of indium, which can improve the strength of the alloy, improve the ductility, and improve the resistance to wear and corrosion. Indium is known as the "alloy vitamin", also known as the "wonderful indium effect".

Indium ingots can be used in the production of solar cells. Copper indium gallium selenium thin film solar cells have the characteristics of low production cost, low pollution, no decay, low light performance and so on. The photoelectric conversion efficiency is higher in all kinds of thin film solar cells, similar to crystalline silicon solar cells, but the cost is only one third of crystalline silicon solar cells.Internationally "the new generation is very much in addition, the battery has a soft even black appearance, It is an ideal choice for places with higher appearance requirements, such as glass curtain walls of large buildings in modern high-rise buildings and other fields have a larger market.
