Overview
Aluminum-Scandium (Al-Sc) master alloy is a high-performance aluminum alloy containing Scandium (Sc) as a primary alloying element. It is used to enhance the mechanical and physical properties of aluminum-based materials, making it particularly valuable in aerospace, automotive, and additive manufacturing industries.
Key Benefits
- Grain Refinement – Scandium refines the grain structure of aluminum, improving strength and toughness.
- Increased Strength – Scandium enhances the yield and tensile strength of aluminum alloys.
- Enhanced Heat Resistance – Improves thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Improved Weldability – Reduces hot cracking and enhances weld joint strength.
- Corrosion Resistance – Enhances aluminum’s natural oxide layer, improving longevity.
Applications
- Aerospace & Defense – Lightweight, high-strength structures.
- Automotive & Motorsports – High-performance aluminum parts.
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) – Used in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) for high-strength aluminum powders.
- Bicycles & Sports Equipment – Ultra-lightweight, durable components.
