Scandium Alloys for Structural Components of Electric Vehicles

EV chassis and battery structures using scandium–aluminum alloys

The EV transition isn’t only about batteries—it’s about lighter, stronger structures that boost range, efficiency and safety. BLOOH Solution’s scandium-reinforced aluminum alloys are designed for modern EV platforms, delivering significant weight reduction with high mechanical performance and excellent manufacturability.

Engineered for Today’s EV Platforms

  • • Battery enclosures & underbody protection
  • • Crash structures & crumple zones
  • • Chassis frames & subframes
  • • Motor housings & load-bearing components

Why Al–Sc Alloys for EVs

  • • Up to ~20% weight savings vs. standard aluminum (application-dependent)
  • • High strength-to-weight with excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance
  • • Weldability suited for automated chassis manufacturing
  • • Responsible sourcing integrated with BLOOH’s lithium value chain
