"The Long Case For Liquidmetal Technologies [View article]
Potential other formulas:
Zr50.75-x Cu36.25 Ni4 Al9 Snx

"A particularly preferred bulk metallic glass alloy has the composition:"
Zr6i.45 Nb1.75 Cu13.5 Ni12.6 Al10.0

They may either substitute Beryllium with Tin(Sn) [22$/kg] or Niob [40$/kg] and Alumiunium [2$/kg]. Berylium costs 1100$ per Kg! http://bit.ly/1f4YZ3t
The vitreloy compositions have 10-20% beryllium content. (Zr- and Ti-based)
It means that 100g ingots of the new certified Zr-based liquidmetal without Be is probably 10-20$ cheapier.
As Zircon sand prices dropped from 2000$ to 1000$ per metric ton, and as titanium is also just 6$ per kg, I assume that Liquidmetal now found a commercially viable compostition to offer totally compettive prices. I guess a 100g Liquidmetal ingot of the new composition will only cost approximately 5$.
When I made my fundamental analysis about this stock one year ago, I calculated potential applications and business model with 20-25$ per 100g ingots and 50$-100$ per injection shot, to got thinking of that it was still economical. When you can now purchase LM ingots for only 5$ this would be just insane!
As the process allows, you can produce multiple parts with multi-cavity molds in just one injection shot! The avarage part weight in the MIM-Market is 6-10 grams. It means that you can produce on avarage 1-10 small metal parts in one injection shot (80-100g) for just 0,5-5$ a piece plus the machine and energy costs (& LM license costs of course ;).
I just imagine I was a company orffering high-end titanium medical surgical instruments selling for 50-100$ per device, I would definetley want to use this manufacturing technology. Down to the heart of this innovation, this technology has extremely "unfair advantages" comparing to conventional methos to master metal.
I am really looking forward to the first contracts!
