Business Wire
Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT), the
leading developer of amorphous alloys and composites,
announced today that it is making available a new alloy composition
which will enable its licensees to manufacture Liquidmetal
components that do not contain beryllium. The new alloy
composition, Liquidmetal 105 (LM105), will be supplied through
Materion Brush Inc. (“Materion”), a Certified Partner of LQMT.
Liquidmetal amorphous alloys have gained widespread commercial
interest due to their unparalleled precision, high strength,
scratch resistance and elasticity. The availability of LM105 which
provides identical performance advantages opens potential new
markets where non-beryllium-containing components are preferred.
These markets include many medical applications, such as in-body
surgical devices.
The new alloy was developed, produced, and tested in conjunction
with Materion. LM105 has undergone a rigorous certification process
in anticipation of making it commercially available from Materion
to Liquidmetal licensees.
Tom Steipp, President and C.E.O. of LQMT, stated, “Manufacturing
Liquidmetal components utilizing a commercially available amorphous
alloy which is non-beryllium-containing has been a goal for a long
period of time. Now realized, LM105 enables Liquidmetal
Technologies to engage with customers on projects that had
previously required alternative materials. In addition, the supply
of LM105 by Materion demonstrates the value of our Certified
Partner Program in making high-quality alloys such as LM105 readily
available to customers.”
