I've run into Indium before for soldering glass and wanted to have a go
but when I looked into it in small quantities the stuff seemed to be
about the same price as gold so was a non starter for what was
potentially a bit of fun.

That's a metal I've never encountered. This process sounds like
contact cement for metal, with 1,500 psi joints. It could be an
efficient production process. Assembled cure time is a major limiting
factor for adhesive assembly for metals.
