Rio Tinto in aluminium-scandium alloy supply deal with Amaero

Rio Tinto has signed an agreement to provide a first commercial batch of aluminium-scandium alloy from its North American operations to Australia-based metal additive manufacturer Amaero International Ltd.

The company will deliver alloy billets made of low-carbon aluminium from its hydro-powered Canadian smelters and high purity scandium oxide from its Rio Tinto Fer et Titane (RTFT) metallurgical complex in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec.
The billets will be processed by Amaero into powder for 3D printing and offered to the market for high temperature applications.
