ScAlCo is a ternary intermetallic compound combining scandium, aluminum, and cobalt in a 1:1:2 stoichiometry. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial production, belonging to the broader family of high-entropy and multi-principal-element alloys being investigated for advanced structural and functional applications. The compound represents an exploration into lightweight, high-strength intermetallics that could bridge applications where conventional aluminum alloys or cobalt-based superalloys reach their limits.
