Scandium (Sc) Metal |
|
Scandium is a soft, silvery transition element which occurs in rare minerals from
Scandinavia. It develops a slightly yellowish
or pinkish cast when exposed to air. Scandium tarnished in air and burn
easily, once it has been ignited. It reacts with water to form hydrogen gas
and will dissolve in many acids. Pure scandium is produced by heating
scandium fluoride (ScF3) with calcium metal.The
main application by volume is in aluminium-scandium alloys for the
aerospace industry and for sports equipment (bikes, baseball bats, etc.)
which rely on high performance materials. It has been shown to reduce
solidification cracking during the welding of high strength aluminium
alloys.Scandium is one of the rare element, that can be found in houses in
equipment such as colour televisions, fluorescent lamps, energy-saving
lamps and glasses. The use of scandium is still growing, due to the fact
that it is suited to produce catalysers and to polish glass.

Applications
--- Scandium Metal
is widely applied in making speciality alloys, it increase the strengths
of alloys of metals such as chromium, aluminium, and magnesium. The
main application by volume is in aluminium-scandium alloys for the
aerospace industry and for sports equipment (bikes, baseball bats, etc.)
which rely on high performance materials. It has been shown to reduce
solidification cracking during the welding of high strength aluminium
alloys.Scandium is one of the rare element, that can be found in houses in
equipment such as colour televisions, fluorescent lamps, energy-saving
lamps and glasses. The use of scandium is still growing, due to the fact
that it is suited to produce catalysers and to polish glass. |
