Some items of sports equipment, which rely on high performance materials, have been made with scandium-aluminium alloys, including baseball bats[34] and bicycle frames and components.[35] Lacrosse sticks are also made with scandium. The American firearm manufacturing company, Smith & Wesson, produces revolvers with frames of scandium alloy and cylinders of titanium or carbon steel.[36][37]"
0.1-0.5% seems like marketing to me, but I'm not a metallurgist.
