Scandium

Scandium Alloys for Marine Applications

Marine structures and subsea components made from scandium–aluminum alloys

Maritime environments are brutal: saltwater, humidity, impact and cyclic loads drive corrosion and structural fatigue. BLOOH’s scandium–aluminum alloys are engineered for toughness at sea—combining high strength, superior corrosion resistance and weldability to lower weight and extend service life. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
