The Al – Zn – Mg – (Cu) – Sc alloys with unique combination of physical and mechanical properties in deformed condition, are promising for manufacture of lining sheets. Aluminum-lithium alloys with scandium have a limited application due to the embrittling effect of scandium and low values of fracture toughness.
