Mold Metal Like Plastic

Injection MoldingHow to Mold Metal Like Plastic The Science of Metal Injection Molding The Liquidmetal alloy is formulated to frustrate crystallization that typically occurs as metals solidify. This eliminates grain boundaries to create an amorphous structure that maximizes strength and elasticity. ATOMIC STRUCTURE Liquidmetal maintains a liquid-like atomic structure in a solid state. Common alloys […]

Modulus of Elasticity – Stretching the Limits

Modulus of Elasticity – Stretching the Limits Liquidmetal’s Modulus of Elasticity Advantage Liquidmetal has an incredibly low modulus of elasticity as well as a zero hysteresis allowing for the design freedom of plastic molding with the strength and precision of CNC metal parts. A deflected custom spring returns to it’s original position when the load is […]

Liquidmetal Alloy Featured in OMEGA Watch Worn by Daniel Craig in SPECTRE

Liquidmetal Allon Featured in OMEGA Watch Worn by Daniel Craig in SPECTRE The OMEGA Seamaster 300 “SPECTRE” Limited Edition will be worn by Daniel Craig in his upcoming role as James Bond in the 24th installment of the film series, SPECTRE. “The watch features a bi-directional, rotating diving bezel, made from black, polished ceramic, combined […]

Salt Water Immersion Corrosion Testing

Salt Water Immersion Corrosion Testing In a previous corrosion properties post we began a salt water immersion test – explaining results for the first and second month would be coming soon. A simple salt water immersion corrosion test was set up to get a general idea of the corrosion properties of Liquidmetal alloys. Here are […]

Corrosion Properties

Corrosion Properties 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 – Liquidmetal does not have any such defects. Secondly, the elements we use in Liquidmetal form mechanically stable oxides which act as a […]

Amorphous Metal that Molds Flat

Amorphous Metal that Molds Flat Amorphous Metal that Molds Flat … and Stays Flat! Discover How We Achieve This … Part flatness requirements are more important than ever as products become thinner and thinner. Liquidmetal’s molding process results in nearly zero shrinkage, allowing you to design complex shapes with incredible flatness tolerances. Just Melt, Inject […]
