THE METALLURGY OF SCANDIUM

Journal Article · · J. Less-Common Metals
Crystal structure, density, electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, and thermal expansion of scandium were measured. Also measured were hardness, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, and compressive strength. The resistance to chemical corrosion and reaetion with air, nitrogen, and oxygen were determined. A similar but more limited study was made on scandium-titanium alloys containing up to 11.35% titanium. The general conclusion was that scandium behaved more like yttrium than aluminum or titanium. Metallographic techniques are also described. (auth)
