Scandium Aluminium Alloy

Über Scandium-Aluminium-Alloy

Scandium-Aluminium is a metal alloy available in bulk quantities. It is offered as ingots, bars, strips, wires, shot, sheets and foils. High purity forms include metal powders, powders in the submicron and nanoscale ranges, targets for thin film deposition and pellets for chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and physical vapour deposition (PVD).

Scandium-Aluminium alloys are used for small components in the aerospace sector. The alloy typically contains 2% Scandium. The addition of Scandium to Aluminium limits excessive grain growth in the heat-affected zones of welded aluminium parts. This addition increases strength and reduces grain size.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) manufactures and supplies Aluminium-2% Scandium Master Alloy Ingot. Multiple standard specifications are available. Standard and custom packaging options are provided. Main applications include assembly storage, ballast, casting, brazing and radiation shielding.
