Highly reactive with air, water, Halogens, and Acids. This bike is made from Scandium tubing and welds. When Scandium is used in alloys, it provides added strength, while remaining lightweight. This is used in racing bicycles, and also in some country's war missiles.
Scandium is used in alloys to add strength, remain light weight, and also has a high melting point.
Scandium was discovered by Lars Fredrik Nilson, a Scandinavian, in 1876 in the minerals euxenite and gadolinite, which had not yet been found anywhere except in Scandinavia. He and his co-workers were actually looking for rare earth metals. By processing 10kg of euxenite and other residues of earth metals, Nilson was able to prepare about 2g of Scandium Oxide of high purity. In 1871 Mendeleev predicted that an element should exist that would resemble Boron in its properties. Per Theodore Cleve found Scandium Oxide at about the same time.
