lqmt also oxidizes its alloy its harder than oxidized surface of titanium with more color options.
so much potential with this metal looking forward to its wide adoption/use one day people will tell me about this new amazing liquidmetal and i will just smile as the share price grows

Mixed oxide finish is intriguing to the Liquidmetal team because it provides a coloring option that is both cosmetic and functional. The process creates a very thin layer of the native metal alloy atoms in their oxidized states. The approximate thickness of this layer is about 2 µm, but extremely hard (1400 Vickers), making the material, even more, scratch and wear resistant than usual (530 Vickers).

Description
Coating amorphous metal parts is similar to coating most other metal components. Some processes work better than others, but overall, conventional methods work well. One coating that the Liquidmetal team recently examined is both cosmetic and functional: mixed oxide finish. The process creates a very thin native layer of the native metal alloy atoms in their oxidized states, making the material scratch resistant and colored.
