· JVASP-41184· Mg3Sc

Mg3Sc is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining magnesium and scandium, belonging to the family of lightweight metallic ceramics with potential structural applications where both low density and high-temperature stability are valued. This material remains largely experimental and is primarily studied in research contexts for advanced aerospace and structural applications, where the combination of a light-element base material with scandium's strengthening effects could offer advantages over conventional magnesium alloys or heavier ceramic alternatives in demanding environments.
