Scandium Aluminium (Sc-Al) Alloy

Product Information

Scandium aluminum alloy, also known as Sc-Al alloy, is a high-performance aluminum alloy. There are several ways to improve the performance of aluminum alloys. Among them, microalloying and toughening are the frontier fields of high-performance aluminum alloy research in the past 20 years.

Scandium aluminum alloy is a kind of metal alloy with scandium (Sc) and aluminum (Al) as the main components. The addition of scandium to aluminum gives the alloy a variety of unique properties, promotes grain refinement, and increases the recrystallization temperature from 250 ° C to 280 ° C, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Scandium has a good dispersion and strengthening effect on aluminum.

Scandium aluminum is one of the many metal alloys sold by ATT. Ultra-high purity and high purity forms also include metal powders, sub-micron powders and nanoscale, targets for thin film deposition, and particles for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) applications.

ATT produces a number of standard grades where applicable, including the Mil Spec(military grade); ACS, reagents and technical grades; Food, agriculture and pharmaceutical grades; Optical grades, USP and EP/BP(European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia), and follow applicable ASTM test standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Major applications include bearing assemblies, ballasts, casting, step welding and radiation shielding.

ATT is a specialized supplier of scandium aluminum (Sc-Al) alloys, and we also manufacture optical discs, pellets, ingots, balls, sheets, powders, rods, wires, sputtering targets and many other forms and custom shapes. Other shapes are available upon request.
