Liquidmetal alloy has high resistance to corrosion for a number of reasons. Firstly, crystal defects, such as grain boundaries and dislocations, can act like galvanic cells to initiate localized corrosion
The difference in microstructure between Liquidmetal alloy and other materials may be the most underappreciated difference between Liquidmetal alloy components and products manufactured with other techniques such as metal injection
Many experienced product designers confuse Liquidmetal Injection Molding with MIM* (Metal Injection Molding). In an attempt to clarify the difference we have been crafting our message more carefully, and our
As Liquidmetal Technologies manufactures parts for new and exciting applications, Liquidmetal alloys continue to gain substantial attention from material scientists and physicists due to the unique properties and performance advantages
In material science, deformation (described quantitatively as strain) occurs when a load (described quantitatively as stress) is applied to a material sufficient enough to cause the material to change shape.
While metallic glass has existed for decades, the majority of people became aware of its revolutionary properties when it was introduced as a product by Liquidmetal Technologies. Many people have
For designers who have traditionally expected dull, unattractive and pitted surfaces of traditional metal injection molded and die-cast parts, seeing the gorgeous as-cast surface of a Liquidmetal part comes as
There is a secret to designing an explosive device that penetrates heavy armor. More than a hundred years ago designers discovered a munitions device is more powerful when the explosive
Mirrors are used every day by nearly everyone. A reasonably accurate, inexpensive mirror can be made by simply silvering a plate of glass. Deliberate distortions can be made by forming
