SCANDIUM CANADA'S SUBSIDIARY SPECIALIZING IN
Scalium®: Ultra-High-Strength Aluminum-Scandium Alloys
Our portfolio
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® Powders
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 Advantages
Ultra-high strength
Some Scalium® alloys demonstrated strength results of up to 45% higher than typical 7075 aerospace aluminum.
High specific strength
May have the potential to substitute high-strength aluminum alloys or titanium in high-stress applications.
Lighter parts
With its high strength, Scalium® enables the manufacturing of lighter parts.
Patent pending
Among the strongest aluminum alloys in the world — from sheets to plates, and soon billets & extrusions.
Scalium® Powders For LPB-F Advantages
Microcrack-free L-PBF
Our modified AA535 and AA7075 powders eliminate the micro-cracking that limits high-strength aluminum in laser powder bed fusion, with a broad processing window and relative densities above 99%.
Ultra-high yield strength
Yield-strength gains of 150% (AA535) and 18% (AA7075) over the base alloys, with yield strength up to 650 MPa.
Specific strength above titanium
A strength-to-weight ratio that can exceed Ti-6Al-4V titanium, at roughly 60% of its density, for lighter parts and lower operating costs over a component's life.
Lower process costs
Scalium® prints complex parts near net shape, cutting material waste and subtractive-process costs, a real advantage for high-value alloys.
Scalium® Welding Wires Advantages
Built for WAAM
Engineered for efficient welding and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, to build large primary structures and components layer by layer.
Ultra-high strength
The same patent-pending AA7075 chemistry as our powders carries high strength into welded and additively manufactured parts.
Lighter parts
Aluminum-scandium replaces heavier materials in welded assemblies, cutting weight and lifetime cost without sacrificing strength.
Near final shape & less waste
WAAM builds large parts close to their final shape, reducing machining needs and wasting significantly less metal.
An eco-friendly surface treatment
We are currently scaling up production of our innovative surface treatment, which offers optimal adhesion properties and creates an excellent bonding interface on aluminum. Furthermore, this eco-friendly surface treatment is safe for workers and easy to work with.
Our Mission
At Scalium+, we develop and commercialize innovative materials that transform the manufacturing industry worldwide, help our clients design lighter, stronger, and longer-lasting products, and support their sustainability objectives.
Applications
Sports Equipment
Scalium® can be used in sports equipment to achieve targeted mechanical properties, reduce weight, and enable recyclability by replacing composites.
Aeronautics
Scalium®'s high strength-to-weight ratio has the potential to replace 7000 series aluminum alloys and titanium in certain applications, perfect for lighter aircraft components that reduce lifetime carbon emissions and operating costs.
Space
With its outstanding mechanical and lightweight properties, Scalium® can help reduce launch costs, augment lifetime durability and increase payload capacity to orbit.
Automotive
From ultra-thin battery foils for higher energy density to motor windings and wiring that replace copper, Scalium® makes electric vehicles lighter and more efficient.
Artificial Intelligence
AI is reshaping data-centre energy solutions. Scalium® enables microcrack-free, 3D-printed heat exchangers for advanced cooling, while the on-site fuel cells powering AI drive fast-growing scandium demand.
Other sectors
From rail and traction motors to power transmission, robotics, and drones, Scalium® delivers lighter, stronger materials wherever performance matters. Tell us what your application demands.
