What else can Indium metal do except conduction of electricity and heat ?

As is known to all, Indium metal is easily found in many fusible alloys, which are designed to melt at specific temperatures. For example, fusible alloys can be used in sprinkler applications. When a fire starts and reaches the melting temperature of the fusible alloy, then the water will be released so as to suppress the fire.

As Indium metal remains malleable at cryogenic temperatures, it can be used to manufacture equipment that will operate in harsh environments (such as outer space). Indium ingot is also used for cryogenic seals. A tight, hermetic seal could be made as it can deform to fill in voids.

In addition, solder is a very popular application of this versatile metal, too. The addition of Indium to solder alloys can reduce the reflow temperature, improve thermal fatigue, minimize gold leaching, improve wetting to a variety of surfaces, as well as provide the basis for a variety of Pb-free alloys.
