FROM RESOURCE TO ADVANCED MATERIALS
Scandium Canada is building an integrated Noth American scandium supply chain – combining the world-class Crater Lake resource with downstream production of high-performance scandium alloy materials through our division Scalium+.
Scalium+ develops and commercializes advanced aluminum-scandium alloys and technologies designed to make high-performance products lighter, stronger, and more sustainable.
Its Scalium® materials are available as rolled products, metal powders for additive manufacturing, and welding wires for WAAM applications, serving sectors such as aerospace, space, automotive, sports equipment, energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing.
We are now producing :
Scalium®
Powder
3D Printing & Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Our AA535 and AA7075 powders eliminate microcracking in high-strength alloys during Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), with relative densities above 99% and UTS of 330–380 MPa. They are currently in qualification testing with advanced-manufacturing end users.
Scalium® Rolled Products
From skis to airplanes to satellites, our patent-pending ultra-high-strength aluminium-scandium alloys (Scalium®) in rolled products, enables lighter structures and stronger components in high-stress applications, empowering breakthrough designs with a sustainable approach.
Scalium® alloys can reach a UTS of over 700 MPa while still offering excellent ductility (8 to 12%).
Scalium® Welding Wires
Welding Wire & WAAM Manufacturing: Our AA7075 specialized aluminum-scandium wires for welding and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) are currently in qualification testing with advanced-manufacturing end users.
