| Scandium Metal is applied in various superalloys which show excellent metallic performance with their light gravity. The main application of Scandium by weight is in Scandium-Aluminum alloys for minor aerospace industry components. They were used in the Russian military aircraft, specifically the MiG-21 and MiG-29. Some items of sports equipment, which rely on high performance materials, have been made with Scandium-Aluminum alloys. Employed in solid state synthesis of unusual clusters, Sc19Br28Z4, (Z=Mn, Fe, Ru or Os). These clusters are of interest for their structure and magnetic properties. A much more abundant element on the sun than on earth, scandium is still widely distributed on earth, occurring in over 800 mineral species. Scandium is a silvery-white metal that develops a yellow or pink tint when exposed to air. It is relatively soft and is chemically similar to the rare earth metals. Fairly stable in air Ductility Good Applications: it increase the strengths of alloys of metals such as chromium, aluminum, and magnesium. Scandium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder.
