Alloying of Industrial Aluminum Alloys with Scandium

Use of scandium as an alloying element in aluminum alloys is considered. The choice of component systems (alloys) that it is expedient to alloy with scandium to improve the properties of semi-finished products is substantiated. It is shown that alloying aluminum alloys with scandium to improve their mechanical properties may be effective if certain rules for choosing the chemical composition and temperature-time production parameters are observed during preparation of deformed semi-finished products.
