Scandium (Sc) Tape

Product Information 

Scandium Tape is commonly used as a strong light weight outer coating. Additionally, tapes can serve as adhesives that bond two objects together. ATT specializes in producing Scandium High Purity Tape and sheets in many thicknesses and sizes for numerous industrial uses and provides health and occupational safety information for this product. Most tapes are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Organometallic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) for specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy. Scandium Tape is usually in the form of long, thin, rolled metal scandium strips. Thickness can range from 0.003" to approximately 2mm for all metals. Some metals can also be rolled down as thin as 0.001" for use as an evaporation source in microelectronics, optics, magnetics, MEMS, and hard resistant coatings. Piece sizes are available up to approximately 7" maximum width. Maximum lengths of about 20" can be obtained with a nominal thickness between about 0.005" and 0.020" for thin film deposition on glass or metal substrates. Materials are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation. ATT specializes in producing custom compositions for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies. ATT also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into rod, bar, or plate form, as well as other machined shapes and through other processes such as nanoparticles and in the form of solutions and organometallics. We also produce Scandium as rods, powder and plates. Other shapes are available by request. Scandium Tape is used as a protective coating on a wide variety of materials. Tape is also used in packaging applications.

Properties（Theoretical）

Scandium Metal Features

1. Soft metal with a silvery appearance

2. Can be oxidized by air

3. Dissolves slowly in most dilute acids.

4. Scandium turnings ignite in the air with a brilliant yellow flame to form scandium (iii) oxide.

Scandium Application

Scandium Metal is applied in various superalloys which show excellent metallic performance with their light gravity. The main application of Scandium by weight is in Scandium-Aluminium alloys for minor aerospace industry components. They were used in the Russian military aircraft, specifically the MiG-21 and MiG-29. Some items of sports equipment, which rely on high-performance materials, have been made with Scandium-Aluminium alloys. Employed in solid-state synthesis of unusual clusters, Sc19Br28Z4, (Z=Mn, Fe, Ru, or Os). These clusters are of interest for their structure and magnetic properties.

Packing of Scandium (Sc) Tape

Standard Packing:

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’ Scandium (Sc) Tape is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
