Development of a Scalium honeycomb structure and optimization of the surface treatment process for Scalium coils.
FY 2025-26 · 2025-10-13
Summary
This project aims to demonstrate the potential of Scalium™, a patented aluminum-scandium alloy, and its surface treatment, by designing a first-generation honeycomb structure that reduces mass by up to 15% compared to the reference alloy 7075. At the same time, it plans to develop an optimized process for the surface treatment of aluminum coils, with significant speed gains. The objective is to validate technical performance while improving industrial efficiency in order to accelerate the integration of Scalium™ and its surface treatment in real-world applications.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à démontrer le potentiel du Scalium™, un alliage aluminium-scandium breveté, ainsi que son traitement de surface, en concevant une structure de type nid d’abeille de première génération permettant une réduction de masse jusqu'à 15 % par rapport à l’alliage de référence 7075. En parallèle, il prévoit le développement d’un procédé optimisé pour le traitement de surface de bobines d’aluminium, avec des gains de cadence significatifs. L’objectif est de valider la performance technique tout en améliorant l’efficacité industrielle, afin d’accélérer l’intégration du Scalium™ et de son traitement de surface dans des applications réelles.
