Aluminum alloys containing scandium as the primary alloying element continue to gain
significant importance in the aeronautical and automotive industries due to their low intrinsic
density and mechanical stability at elevated temperatures. The majority of work completed
on these materials have emphasized wrought and cast product forms. However, powder
metallurgy technologies represent an attractive alternative as the high cost of scandium can
be offset by efficiencies in material consumption via net shape processing. In this work, a …
