Aluminum Scandium Alloy

Aluminum Scandium Alloy

Al-Sc Alloy is 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. It is also used in some sports equipment, including baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, as well as bicycle frames, and related components.

We provide Al-Sc Alloy with 0.5-20% scandium content, available products: alloy block, sputtering target, plate, rod, and other scandium aluminum master alloys.

Packaging of Al-Sc Alloy

Al-Sc Alloys are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Iron drums and cartons are used for packing. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.

-Purity on Rare Earth Oxide Basis.
In the rare earth industry, chemical purities of rare earth oxides and compounds are often presented on a rare earth oxide basis (REO basis), i.e., the content of a specific rare earth oxide in comparison to total rare earth oxides (TREO) present: REO/TREO. The statement of “CeO2 > 99%”, often means CeO2/TREO > 99%. To obtain the absolute purity of a specific oxide, you can use the formula: REO/TREO X Percentage of TREO in the material.

Purity on Rare Earth Metal Basis.
In the rare earth industry, chemical purities of rare earth metals are often presented on a rare earth metal basis (REM basis)), i.e., the content of a specific rare earth metal in comparison to total rare earth metals (TREM) present: REM/TREM. The statement of “Ce > 99%” often means Ce/TREM > 99%. To obtain the absolute purity of a specific metal, you can use the formula: REM/TREM X Percentage of TREM in the material.
