Indium ingot is mainly used in the production of ITO targets (used in the production of liquid crystal displays and flat panel screens) due to its strong light permeability and electrical conductivity, which is the main consumption area of indium ingot, accounting for 70% of global indium consumption.
Indium is a chemical element with the symbol In and atomic number 49.
Indium is the softest metal that is not an alkali metal. It is a silvery-white metal that resembles tin in appearance. It is a post-transition metal that makes up 0.21 parts per million of the Earth’s crust.
Indium has a melting point higher than sodium and gallium, but lower than lithium and tin.
