At this point, the primary problem with the alloy is that it is made of 20 percent scandium, which is extremely expensive. The researchers are exploring whether or not scandium can be replaced or eliminated from the alloy

so unless they can replace the scandium with something lot cheaper this alloy is going to have little market potential. OTOH the whole idea of alloys being made upon equal parts of metals rather than predominantly one has significant potential.
