Aluminum Scandium Master Alloy

Aluminum Scandium alloy is a kind of high performance aluminum alloy. It is hoped that a series of new high-performance aluminum alloy materials, such as ultra-high strength and high toughness aluminum alloy, high-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and high-strength neutron irradiation resistant aluminum alloy, will be developed based on the existing aluminum alloy by adding the scandium. NCE can provide the Al/Sc alloy with different Scandium contents on request. Get a Quote Now! For other rare earth targets, please check our Rare Earth Master Alloy catalog page. NCE also provides Aluminum Scandium Sputtering Target.

Typical application:
Adding a small amount of scandium into the aluminum alloy can promote the grain refinement and raise the recrystallization temperature by 250°C~ 280°C, which is a powerful grain refiner and effective recrystallization inhibitor of the aluminum alloy. It has a significant impact on the structure and properties of the alloy and greatly improves its strength, hardness, weldability and corrosion resistance.
Adding scandium can also make aluminum alloy have good superplasticity. After superplasticity treatment, the elongation of aluminum alloy with 0.5% scandium can reach 1100%. Therefore, aluminum scandium alloy is expected to become a new generation of light structural materials for aerospace, aviation and ship industries, mainly used for aerospace, aviation and ship welding load structural parts, aluminum alloy pipes for alkaline corrosive medium environment, railway oil tanks, key structural parts of high-speed trains, etc.
