· JVASP-107199· MgSc3

MgSc3 is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining magnesium and scandium, representing an experimental material within the family of lightweight metal-ceramic composites. While not yet established in mainstream production, this material is investigated in research contexts for applications requiring combined low density with enhanced thermal stability and mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. Its appeal lies in the potential to achieve weight reduction comparable to magnesium alloys while gaining the thermal and chemical resilience associated with ceramic phases.
