Scandium metal
Technical characteristics
It is a lightweight silvery metal with a yellow sheen, a rare earth element of the 4th period table of chemical elements, Opened in 1879 by the Swedish chemist Nielsen and named in honor of Scandinavia. Its content in the solid rocks of approximately 9.5 g/t, significant resources are concentrated in the Carboniferous deposits in the form of oxides (scandium beryl, cassiterite, fluorite). As a Supplement, this metal gives the alloy good ductility and toughness.
