Unique Material Properties

This amorphous atomic structure leads to a unique set of characteristic properties for the family of Liquidmetal alloys.

These performance advantages include:

High Yield Strength
High Hardness
Superior Strength/Weight Ratio
Superior Elastic Limit
High Corrosion Resistance
High Wear-Resistance
Unique Acoustical Properties
Low shrinkage rate

One of the direct results of the unique atomic structure of Liquidmetal alloys is very high yield strength, which approaches the theoretical limit and far exceeds the strength currently available in crystalline metals and alloys. For example, a yield strength of over 250 ksi has been achieved in Zr-base and Ti-base Liquidmetal alloys (LM-001 series). This is more than twice the tensile strength of conventional titanium alloys.

Another unique property of Liquidmetal alloys is the superior elastic limit; i.e., the ability to retain its original shape (memory) after undergoing very high loads and stresses. Furthermore, the Liquidmetal alloys have much higher corrosion and wear resistance than their conventional (crystalline) counterparts due to the unique atomic structure.
