· JVASP-99427· Mg2Sc

Mg2Sc is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining magnesium and scandium, representing a rare-earth reinforced material system studied primarily in advanced materials research rather than high-volume production. This material family is investigated for lightweight structural applications where the addition of scandium to magnesium-based systems can enhance high-temperature stability, creep resistance, and mechanical properties compared to conventional magnesium alloys. Mg2Sc remains largely experimental; its practical adoption depends on cost reduction of scandium and demonstration of manufacturing scalability, though it exemplifies the growing interest in magnesium-scandium intermetallics for aerospace and automotive weight reduction.
