    I loved the Mike Rumsey segment! I love all the chemistry too, but seeing how it is in the natural form ties it together. From mineral to metal to chemistry!

  • @Muonium1
    @Muonium1 5 годин тому +14

    Outside of a few highly exotic aerospace alloys, largely experimental solid electrolyte fuel cells, high color rendering index metal halide lamps, and erbium dental lasers, scandium still has practically no uses. Even the latter two applications are disappearing due to LED adoption and simpler erbium YAG lasers that don't contain any scandium, respectively. Barely 20 tons of it is used each year world wide. Compare to its next door neighbor titanium at a relatively huge 230,000 tons per year, or even neodymium at 60,000 tons! Even bismuth which is 3,000 times rarer in the Earth's crust has a yearly production of about 20,000 tons, a thousand times greater than scandium.

    • @red.aries1444
      @red.aries1444 18 хвилин тому

      Bismuth might be overall rarer in the whole Earth's crust, but more concentrated at some places or is a byproduct when mining for other elements, therefore it is much cheaper to produce. Scandium is very expensive to produce and it's properties are not special enough that it can't be replaced with other materials, so it isn't widely used.

    I inherited a scandium frame revolver from my gramps. it is shockingly light! from what i understand, the frame is milled from a solid chunk of scandium and a steel sleeve is insert into the barrel to handle the pressures

  • @carltauber2939
    @carltauber2939 2 години тому +1

    The principal commercial use of scandium in the US used to be white metal halide arc lamps which were based on a mixture of sodium and scandium halides. I believe that European manufacturers used a different chemistry based on indium and dysprosium, although I don't know why.

    Or in other words, is there any application of it which absolutely requires it rather than any other element?

      @eriktempelman2097 4 години тому +1

      Many things, although it's not as ubiquetous as e.g vanadium or chromium. One application I like is weldable high-strength aluminium-scandium alloys. These are used e.g in the Airbus A380 airframe.

    The reaction with bromine could have been hampered by a surface layer of oxide. Should have tried it with freshly cleaned surface, like the one after Neil did the filings.
    The dark surface could possibly be due to etching by the bromine water.
