While industrial utilization of Scandium-containing aluminum alloys has been constrained to-date, these alloys have well-known benefits

This will lead to ready industrial adoption as new supply sources come online once a cost-effective method is utilized -> we believe FEAM’s technology will deliver this

Small additions of Sc (<0.2wt%) add significant strength to many alloys in automotive (3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx) and aerospace (2xxx, 5xxx and 7xxx) applications

This strengthening impact allows more high strength steel components to be replaced with aluminum – key to weight reduction.

Aluminum-Scandium is:

•  Higher specific strength than steel
•  Ductile as titanium
•  Highly weldable
•  Highly sinterable
•  Highly formable
