1. Electronics and semiconductor industry
Gallium has important applications in electronics and semiconductor industry. Can be used for manufacturing high-frequency electronic devices, diodes, photoelectric elements, solar cells and lasers.
2. Thermometers and thermostats
Gallium is often used as an element in thermometers and thermostats because its characteristics can be accurately measured in different temperature ranges.
3. Adhesives and casting alloys
Gallium has a low melting point, so it can be used to make special alloys and adhesives. It is usually used in high temperature applications, welding agents and aluminum alloy manufacturing.
4. Reagents in the chemical laboratory
In some chemical laboratories, gallium can be used as a reagent for some chemical reactions or analysis.
5. Medical imaging
Gallium can be combined with some radioisotopes for nuclear medical imaging.
6. Alloy additives
Gallium can be added to some metal alloys to change their properties and characteristics, such as improving the corrosion resistance and ductility of the alloys.
