Scandium is a rare transition metal that is generally extracted as a by-product of rare earth element refining. Extremely lightweight, scandium metal is used as an alloying element to strengthen aluminum. In its iodide form, scandium is used in halide - or mercury vapour - lamps to create a more natural light, while scandium oxide (Sc2O3) is used in specialty glass and electronic ceramics. Only a few tonnes of the element are refined worldwide each year while production of scandium metal is estimated to be less than 100 kilograms.
