Aluminum Magnesium Scandium Powder

About Aluminum Magnesium Scandium

The 5000 Series alloy family (AlMg) provides the optimum balance of strength and characteristics responsiveness when alloyed with scandium. This aluminum-magnesium alloy is known as a soft alloy with regard to its low strength, which is frequently below practical limits in demanding applications.

Aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy can be made into powder by inert gas atomization process. AlMgSc alloy powder is one of the popular high strength aluminum alloy powder developed and produced specially for Additive Manufacturing industry. AlMgSc alloy powder is corrosion-resistant and combines titanium-like strength with aluminum's low weight and low specific strength. The AlSi10Mg, a widely used aluminum silicon powder for additive manufacturing is only half as strong as AlMgSc powder in comparison.

HNOSC alloy products are offered in both standard and customer-specified element compositions in a variety of forms, including powder, bars, ingots, and wires. Our engineers can provide guidance in selecting an alloy based on your intended application. Please request a quote above to receive pricing details based on your requirements.

Typical Applications

Aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy could be used to produce other aluminum alloy. Bar form could be used to produce wires and powder for additive manufacturing.
