Scalium™, a New High-Strength Aluminium Alloy to be Used from Skis to Aerospace

Ferreol Technologies mission is to reshape manufacturing industries internationally through the development of innovative materials. As a spin-off from Ferreol Skis—the second-largest alpine ski company in Canada—Ferreol Technologies draws on the expertise and creativity that fueled Ferreol pioneering ski designs. Over the last five years, Ferreol Skis has prioritized research and development to reduce the environmental impact of its skis while
enhancing on-snow performance and user experience. This endeavor culminated in
the creation of a novel aluminum alloy: Scalium™.

Scalium™ delivers exceptional mechanical properties, particularly a high yield
strength, with values reaching up to 729 MPa, up to 45% stronger than typical 7000 series. Initially designed to meet the demanding performance requirements
of alpine skis, this innovative material has attracted significant attention from
major global ski manufacturers. Early tests integrating Scalium™ into their ski
models have yielded highly promising results.

Recognizing its broader potential, Ferreol Technologies is now exploring
applications of Scalium™ in industries where high strength, mass reduction, and
carbon footprint minimization are critical, such as aerospace. Collaborations with
aerospace OEMs are underway to fully characterize Scalium™ and
quantify its benefits for aircraft and spacecraft components. These efforts aim to
unlock significant mass savings and environmental benefits, positioning Scalium™
as a material of choice for the future.

With its commitment to innovation and sustainability, Ferreol Technologies is
ready to reshape industries beyond skiing, driving progress in high-performance
materials for global markets.
