Scandium (Sc) Lump

Product Overview
Scandium lumps are made from high-purity scandium metal, offering excellent physical and chemical properties. Scandium is a soft, silver-white metal classified as a transition metal, with a density of 2.989 g/cm³, a melting point of 1539°C, and a boiling point of 2831°C. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, scandium is widely used in alloy materials, catalysts, high-performance ceramics, and energy sectors. Scandium lumps are commonly used for further alloy processing or for special applications in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
