Why Use
Liquidmetal®

Strength, hardness, elasticity, and corrosion resistance are achieved directly out of the mold without secondary processes. This technology can be used in a variety of markets, typically making parts that fit in the palm of your hand.

What are Amorphous Alloy Metals?

Amorphous metals are a class of alloys developed to maintain an amorphous atomic structure in a solid state. Also known as bulk metalic glass, this alloy allows you to mold precision parts with ultra low shrinkage and achieve great mechanical properties.

Liquidmetal®
Molding Process

Small batches of feedstock are melted in a vacuum chamber to avoid contamination from Oxygen. The melted alloy is poured into the shot sleeve where a plunger pushes the material into a steel mold.


The Liquidmetal part comes out of the mold to net shape and with full physical properties. Secondary processes to remove the part from the runner and overflows are necessary.
