Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. is a development-stage materials engineering company specializing in the design, development and licensing of proprietary bulk amorphous metal alloys known under the trademark “Liquidmetal.” These amorphous alloys exhibit a unique combination of high strength, elasticity and corrosion resistance, which the company says can outperform traditional crystalline metals in a variety of applications.
The company’s core business model centers on patented intellectual property, process technology and alloy formulations for injection molding of amorphous metals. Liquidmetal Technologies grants licenses to manufacturers and partners who wish to incorporate these alloys into components and finished products. The company also conducts internal research and development to refine processing techniques and to expand its patent portfolio.
Liquidmetal’s materials have potential uses across multiple end markets, including consumer electronics, medical devices, sports and leisure equipment, automotive and aerospace. By offering design support and supplying prototype parts, the company aims to accelerate adoption of its alloys by contract manufacturers and original equipment makers in North America, Europe and Asia.
Founded on technology originally developed at the California Institute of Technology, the company is headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. It trades on the OTC Markets under the symbol LQMT.
