Ive explains how the molecules in Apple gold are closer together, making it twice as hard as standard gold. And, in case you were wondering, Apple’s cold-forged steel is 40 per cent more durable than regular steel.



When the above was reported in the article from ...
http://howtospendit.ft.com/technology/77791-the-man-behind-the-apple-watch

Many people pointed to a patent "Method and Apparatus for Forming a Gold Metal Matrix Composite" saying that Apple will not use LM in the watch.

One tech blog reports it will be LM in the watch;

.....It's been rumored that Apple was able to achieve these metal strengths by using a liquid metal process that they've been working on for years.....

After reading about metal matrix and sinter, and how its can be mixed and formed many different ways.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_matrix_composite
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintering

A special form of sintering, still considered part of powder metallurgy, is liquid-state sintering. In liquid-state sintering, at least one but not all elements are in a liquid state. Liquid-state sintering is required for making cemented carbide or tungsten carbide.



I came up with a theory that Apple's patented "Custom Gold Alloy" metal matrix is injection molded.
That process would make the gold molecules closer together because no crystallisation of the metal would take place,
no separation zones occur between the molecules inside because its quick chilled to stay amorphous.

So Apple could use its patented, light-weight gold alloy (bmg), with CIP's 70 granted,56 pending patents (mostly funded by Apple) to make the Watch.
