It also is used in to High Strength, Low Alloy (“HSLA”) steel, a lighter, stronger steel used in automotive, bridges, structural systems, and pipeline applications. Scandium can be combined with aluminum to make super-high-performance alloys with increased strength and improved corrosion resistance. Scandium also is a critical component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells, an environmentally preferred technology for high-reliability, distributed electricity generation. Titanium is a component of various superalloys that are used for aerospace applications, armor, and medical implants. It also is used in pigments for paper, paint, and plastics.
