Description

fine white powder(s) or sintered pieces of 3–12mm; used as an evaporation material of 99.99% purity to produce fairly hard coating which is very stable, and is useful for antireflection coating on semiconductors with high index [MER06] [CER91]


Scandium oxide has an extremely high melting point and is therefore likely to be an ionic compound, meaning its particles are joined by ionic bonds.

Scandium oxide Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The crude scandium oxide separated from the nickel ore is processed into scandium hydroxide, which is then heated and roasted to obtain the finished scandium oxide.

Uses

Scandium Oxide is applied in optical coating, catalyst, electronic ceramics and laser industry. It is also used annually in making high-intensity discharge lamps. A high melting white solid used in high-temperature systems (for its resistance to heat and thermal shock), electronic ceramics, and glass composition. Suitable for vacuum deposition applications.
