Gallium metal foil is a thin sheet made of gallium with a silvery metallic luster, good flexibility and thermal conductivity and has many applications in semiconductors, electronics, thermal management and alloy preparation.
Characteristics
Appearance: Silver metallic luster.
Flexibility: It has good flexibility.
Melting point: approximately 29.78°C
Density: approx. 5.907g/cm³.
Thermal conductivity: Gallium metal has a certain degree of thermal conductivity, which enables it to conduct heat efficiently.
Chemical Stability: At room temperature, gallium metal foil has relatively good chemical stability. It is resistant to most common gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. However, it will react chemically with some strong acids and bases. For example, it can react with hydrochloric acid to form gallium chloride and hydrogen.
Reactivity: Gallium is a relatively active metal, which can participate in various chemical reactions in some specific chemical environments. In the process of alloying, gallium can react with other metals, such as indium and tin, to form low melting point alloys with special properties.
Applications
Semiconductor field: Gallium metal foil can be used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. For example, in some chip manufacturing processes, it can be used as a heat dissipation material or as part of the metallization layer to help dissipate heat from the chip by taking advantage of its good thermal conductivity, and at the same time, its flexibility also helps to fit the complex structure of the chip surface.
Electronics: In the production of flexible circuits for electronic devices, the flexibility of gallium metal foil can be fully utilized. It can be used as a material for conductive circuits, replacing some of the traditional rigid conductive materials, enabling the circuits to adapt to different bending and deformation requirements, thus expanding the design flexibility of electronic equipment.
Thermal management field: Due to its low melting point and good thermal conductivity, gallium metal foil can be used to manufacture heat exchangers or thermal sensors. In devices that are sensitive to temperature changes, gallium foils are able to respond quickly to temperature changes, enabling temperature monitoring and control.
Alloy Preparation: Gallium foil is an important raw material in the preparation of low melting point alloys. Mixing gallium with other metal materials can obtain alloys with special melting points and properties, and these alloys have a wide range of applications in welding, mold making and other fields.
