Are Scandium Bikes Good?

Hence, if the tube thickness remained the same, the Scandium frame would likely be stronger than an aluminum one, assuming they were both good quality (assembly/design). So, "scandium" is a perfectly good frame material, if used appropriately.

How is scandium used in bicycles?

Scandium works by convincing aluminum molecules to restructure themselves. ... This is especially valuable in high-strength aluminum, like 7005 alloy. Traditionally, 7005 alloys make light, strong, forged or CNC machined bicycle components, but can't be welded because they weaken when they melt.

Is scandium stronger than titanium?

Scandium can be stiffer and lighter than titanium, but not as strong or durable. This is assuming the tube design is about equal.
