•    Description:  Scandium has long been considered as a potential alloy addition for aluminum due to its major beneficial impact on properties (such as increased tensile strength), but high prices and limited supply options have held back adoption of scandium alloys and today only ~1 tpy is used in aluminum alloying. However, the scandium story is opening a new chapter due to the potential development of new lower cost supply from primary
scandium mines and as a by-product from nickel cobalt mines and red mud deposits. This article provides an overview of these developments.
