New Liquidmetal Alloy Commercially Available from Certified Partner

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.”
