Apple European filing still includes Liquidmetal, even though this is a divisional from and older filing. They could have removed it...

The metal used in an insertion molding process is typically in liquid form. The metal in liquid form may for example correspond to amorphous alloys, which are metals that may behave like plastic, or alloys with liquid atomic structures. LiquidMetal is one suitable example for the metal in liquid form. Substantially any metal or, more generally, material in liquid form which has a thermal expansion rate that is similar to the thermal expansion rate of liquid metal may be used in an insertion molding process. For example, metals which may be used in an insertion molding process generally include metals that may be injection molded such as steel and aluminum. Other materials from which may be used in an insertion molding process, e.g., to form a bezel around a glass window, may include plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, etc.) and/or ceramics (e.g., alumina, zirconia, etc.).”
