Aluminum Scandium Master Alloys

AlSc2, 99.99% pure minimum

Aluminum-Scandium alloy is a high-performance material containing 2% Scandium, specifically engineered to enhance grain refinement during casting and solidification. The addition of Scandium increases the recrystallization temperature, significantly improving the alloy’s strength and toughness. Furthermore, this alloy offers superior weldability while minimizing the risk of hot cracking in welds.

Key Benefits of Scandium Addition:

• Enhances grain refinement during casting and solidification.
• Increases recrystallization temperature in heat-treatable aluminum alloys, improving hot-working properties.
• Improves weldability and reduces susceptibility to hot cracking.
• Strengthens heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability.
• Increases resistance to neutron irradiation damage.
•  

Typical Applications:

1.  Aerospace & Aviation – Utilized in lightweight, high-performance structural components.

2.  Defense & Firearms – Incorporated into weaponry and handguns requiring superior aluminum alloys.

3.  Sports Equipment – Found in golf clubs, baseball bats, and bicycle frames for enhanced durability.

4.  Next-Generation Applications – Applied in emerging fields demanding high-performance aluminum materials.
