Indium Metal and Indium Alloy Reclaim and Recycle Program Enriches Return on Investment
June 16, 2016 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation's indium metal and indium alloy reclaim and recycle program earns customers an enhanced return on used materials.
Indium is used extensively in thermal management, low-temperature soldering, and sealing applications. In many instances, the indium is not fully consumed and can be reclaimed from the process. This indium-containing material can be returned to Indium Corporation for recycling or financial credit.
“Not only is recycling an important process, and a responsible corporate policy, it also provides the indium and indium alloy consumer a financial benefit,” said Indium and Bismuth Product Manager Carol Gowans. “When a consumer diverts used indium from the waste stream back to Indium Corporation, they are turning scrap into a financial gain.”
Indium Corporation also offers reclaim and recycle programs for germanium, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), and bar solder.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
