ScCu is an intermetallic compound combining scandium and copper, representing a research-phase metallic material from the transition metal alloy family. While not yet widely deployed in commercial applications, this material class is of interest for high-performance structural and functional applications where the combination of scandium's lightweight character and copper's electrical and thermal conductivity could offer advantages. Engineers evaluating ScCu would typically be exploring advanced aerospace, electronics, or energy applications where tailored elastic properties and low density become critical design factors.
