Aluminum Scandium Alloy

Aluminum Scandium Alloys are available as bar, Ingot, ribbon, wire, shot, sheet, and foil. Ultra high purity and high purity forms also include aluminum scandium alloy powder powder, submicron powder and nanoscale, targets for thin film deposition, and pellets for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) applications. AEM-REE produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.

Aluminum Scandium Alloys Applications:

1. 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.
2. Used in some sports equipment, including baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, as well as bicycle frames and related components.
3. Used in bearing assembly, ballast, casting, step soldering, and radiation shielding.

Packaging of Aluminum Scandium Alloys:

Typical and custom packaging is available. Aluminum Scandium 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.
