Scandium Aluminium (ScAl) Alloy |
|
Scandium is one of the most potent alloying elements in the periodic table. When added to aluminum alloys, scandium can significantly increase strength and reduce grain size. Scandium has been added to aluminum alloys in the former soviet union for missiles and MIG fighter applications. Scandium Aluminium is now used extensively in premium sporting goods (golf clubs, lacrosse sticks, baseball bats and fishing poles!) and high performance mountain bike frames.? It is lower cost than Titanium Alloy and Carbon fiber. It's very easy to get a yield stress over 530Mpa?by just adding 0.5% Scandium - almost as strong as high tensile steel.?If you are prepared to sacrafice a few other material properties, you can get it up to around 590MPa with other alloying?elements (Mg,Si,Zn).? ?It's weldable with no apparent HAZ, has excellent fatigue properties and?can be?cold and hot forged and cast using vacuum die casting. |
