About
Scalmalloy® is an aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy designed for laser powder bed fusion.
After a low-temperature heat treatment, it reaches about 510–530 MPa tensile strength and 480–500 MPa yield with 13–16% elongation, along with good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. Strength falls with temperature, while fatigue strength rises with milling and hot isostatic pressing.
Scalmalloy® is well suited to lightweight brackets, thermal management components, waveguides, and ducts.
