Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are aluminum alloys with scandium as the alloying element. The alloys have a high scandium content, as measured by atomic percentage, and are highly uniform, as described herein. Methods of forming articles from these alloys are also disclosed, such articles including sputtering targets that can be used to form thin films containing high amounts of scandium.
