Scandium Canada Ltd. Provides Commercialization Update on Aluminum-Scandium Alloys
Montreal, QC — November 6, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSX-V: SCD) has announced an update on the commercialization efforts of its patent-pending Aluminum-Scandium alloys through its division, Scandium+.
The company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Gränges Powder Metallurgy (GPM), a global supplier of sprayformed aluminum products and aluminum powders for additive manufacturing, specializing in high-performance aluminum alloys. Under this MOU, Scandium Canada and GPM will explore integrating Scandium Canada’s proprietary scandium-modified AA535 and AA7075 alloys into GPM’s product offering.
According to Dr. Luc Duchesne, Head of Scandium+ division and Chief Science Officer, Scandium Canada’s proprietary alloys directly address the critical need for printable, high-strength, and lightweight metals in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. Duchesne said that the GPM MOU is a testimony to their efforts to cooperate at different levels of the scandium value chain to accelerate the uptake of their alloys.
Scandium Canada has also received Productique Quebec’s report on their analysis of the best-case uses of its patent-pending Aluminum-Scandium alloys. Considering the main attributes of Scandium Canada’s Al-Sc powders —namely, reduced scandium content, a broad processing window, suitable mechanical properties, and minimized defect density —the Productique study identified 13 target alloy applications for specific industrial users, including welding wires, aircraft ducting, and heat exchangers. Each of the thirteen applications is attached to particular commercial stakeholders that could benefit from Scandium Canada’s alloys.
Guy Bourassa, CEO of Scandium Canada, stated that Productique Québec’s work provided a strong validation of the commercial potential of their alloys. Bourassa added that they are encouraged that their technical assessment not only confirmed the applicability of their alloys based on their demonstrated laboratory properties but also identified new and promising uses that extend beyond their initial scope.
The company has secured in-kind support from Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) to collaborate with experts from the Additive Manufacturing Division of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). This partnership will focus on identifying new commercial applications and pathways for the company’s innovative alloys.
Scandium Canada’s two proprietary alloys and their method of fabrication were developed and tested in collaboration with McMaster University and are protected by a newly filed international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), filed on September 17, 2025. Wholly owned by Scandium Canada Ltd., this intellectual property strengthens the company’s growing patent portfolio and strategically positions it for global commercial applications.
