Magnetic materials: Due to its strong magnetic moment, scandium is widely used in the field of magnetic materials, such as magnetic recording materials, magnetic storage materials, etc.
Precision instruments: Due to its relatively stable physical properties and good conductivity, it is widely used in the manufacture of precision instruments, such as nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, electron microscopes, etc.
Optical applications: It also has important applications in the field of optics. In laser technology, ions are used as solid laser materials to produce mid-infrared lasers.
Battery materials: Scandium is also widely used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In these cells, scandium has high electrical conductivity and stability, which helps improve the efficiency and performance of fuel cells.
Our products implement the most stringent quality management system. There are strict inspection standards for incoming materials, processes, final inspections, and factory inspections. Strict isolation measures will be adopted for unqualified processing to prevent unqualified products from flowing into the next process. Samples will be provided to customers according to customer requirements for re-inspection.
Inner vacuum packaging, outer carton/wooden box packaging.
Because scandium is very active in chemical properties and easily combines with oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, etc., special care is required during storage and processing. It is usually necessary to fill it with argon and seal it to prevent it from reacting with oxygen in the air. During operation, direct contact with the skin should be avoided and appropriate protective equipment should be worn. In addition, compounds such as Sc2O3 and ScCI3 are also toxic and need to be properly handled and stored.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
