Scandium Aluminum Alloys Description

Scandium aluminum alloys are a winning combination of scandium and aluminum metal. Scandium is a silvery-white metallic transition metal, often classified as a rare earth element (REE), together with yttrium (Y) and the 15 lanthanides (La). Alloying scandium into aluminum adds strength and desirable properties to aluminum. And the addition of scandium to aluminum limits the excessive grain growth that occurs in the heat-affected zone of welded aluminum components.

Scandium Aluminum Alloys Advantages

• Adding scandium makes Aluminium stronger
• Scandium aluminum alloy has better weld-ability properties
• Grain structure during forming and extrusion stays intact
• Stronger at rising temperature, in combination with Zirconium.

Scandium Aluminum Alloys Applications

Scandium aluminum alloys are used for minor aerospace industry components. The common content is 2% scandium. The addition of scandium to aluminum limits the excessive grain growth that occurs in the heat-affected zone of welded aluminum components. Scandium can significantly increase strength and reduce grain size. Sc-Al alloys are also used in some sports equipment, including baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, as well as bicycle frames, and related components.

Scandium Aluminum Alloys Packaging

Scandium Aluminum Alloys are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
