LiZrSc is a lightweight metallic alloy combining lithium, zirconium, and scandium elements, positioned within the family of advanced aerospace and high-performance metal systems. This material represents research-phase development rather than established commercial production, with potential applications in weight-critical structural components where exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and thermal stability are required. The lithium content offers significant density reduction compared to conventional titanium or aluminum alloys, while zirconium and scandium additions provide enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion resistance—making it a candidate for next-generation aerospace structures, though current availability and processing maturity remain limited.
