[{"type":"text","content":"Scandium Canada provides update on Scandium+ activities and development of its Al-Sc alloys\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\nFebruary 11, 2026 – TheNewswire - Montreal, Quebec – Scandium Canada Ltd.\n(TSX-V: SCD) (the “Company”) announces an update on the efforts of\nits Scandium+ division in advancing the industrial adoption of its\nproprietary aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys. \n\n\nWire prototyping\n\n\nScandium Canada commissioned the Centre de Métallurgie\ndu Quebec (CMQ) to produce wires using the Company’s two proprietary\nAl-Sc alloys formulations for welding and Wire Additive Advanced\nManufacturing (WAAM) trials. This work is expected to be completed by\nthe end of March 2026, with the prototypes subsequently submitted for\nthird-party end-user testing to confirm compliance with their\nmanufacturing specifications.  This work is\nsupported by grants from the CQRDA (Centre Québécois de recherche et\ndéveloppement de l’aluminium), of which the Company is a\nmember.\n\n\nThe Company estimates that these applications alone\ncould generate a demand of up to 30 tonnes per year of scandium oxide\n(Sc2O3), addressing a market segment that\ndoes not currently exist.  For reference, the Crater Lake Project is\nexpected to produce 91 tonnes per year of scandium oxide. These\napplications are the direct results of the findings from the study\nfrom Productique Québec announced in October 2025.\n\n\nCollaboration with\nGränges Powder Metallurgy\n\n\nFurther to the Memorandum of Understanding signed with\nGränges Powder Metallurgy (GPM) in November 2025, current efforts aim\nat trialling Scandium Canada’s modified AA535 and AA7075 alloys into\nGPM’s product offerings. GPM, a wholly owned subsidiary of the\nglobal aluminum technology company Gränges, is a global supplier of\nsprayformed aluminum products and aluminum powders for additive\nmanufacturing.  \n\n\nNational Research\nCouncil of Canada\n\n\nThrough in-kind support from Canada’s Industrial\nResearch Assistance Program (IRAP), Scandium Canada has received a\ntechnical report from experts from the Additive Manufacturing Division\nof the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to identify materials\nqualification strategies for the adoption of its alloys in space\n(wavegui...
