ShareUSE OF INDIUM SOLDER TO PATCH LEAKS IN SILVER-SOLDER JOINTS ON CRYOSTATS.
Author(s) : HOLTZ R. L., SWENSON C. A.
Type of article: Article
Summary
INDIUM METAL AS A SOLDER CAN PROVIDE A CONVENIENT AND EFFECTIVE, LAST RESORT, PATCHING MATERIAL FOR LEAKS WHICH OCCUR SPONTANEOUSLY IN METALLIC LOW-TEMPERATURE APPARATUS. INDIUM BONDS WELL TO MANY METALS AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, REMAINS DUCTILE TO 4 K. AN INDIUM PATCH THEREFORE RETAINS ITS INTEGRITY EVEN WHERE A LEAK HAS OCCURRED DUE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL EXPANSIONS OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.
