Scandium, a silvery-white metal, is a lightweight element known for its remarkable strength and heat resistance. Despite its scarcity, scandium boasts exceptional properties, such as its ability to improve the performance of various alloys when added in small amounts. It finds applications in aerospace industries, particularly in producing lightweight, high-strength aluminum-scandium alloys for aerospace components like aircraft fuselages and missile systems. Scandium is also used in high-intensity lamps, as an additive in sporting goods such as baseball bats and bicycle frames, and in solid oxide fuel cells due to its excellent conductivity at high temperatures. Scandium is highly valued for its unique properties, which include a lightweight structure, excellent corrosion resistance, and a high melting point of 1,541°C.
