How it works
SCALIUM+, formerly Ferreol Technologies and now owned by Scandium Canada, is adapting aluminum-scandium alloys for space-component mass reduction. Its CSA-supported work extends thin-sheet expertise to thicker plates through proof of concept, laboratory testing and manufacturing scale-up. Scandium Canada reports 0.4 mm sheets used across Ferreol Skis’ 2026–27 collection, which establishes a reported sporting-goods application rather than aerospace qualification. The sheet catalogue lists yield strength up to 610 MPa and 74 GPa modulus, with format, temper and availability requiring confirmation.
