Liquidmetal specs
(OP)
Can anyone give me a quick run down (or point me to)a tipical Liquidmetal Alloy spec.
Also any comments from the experts on where its ideal applications might lie in engine / aoutomotive technology?
Is it expensive stuff?
Thanks,
Mike

Here is a comparison from Caltech:

I am not sure for what it is best suited in a powertrain - maybe pistons?
Regarding cost, it is going to be crazy expensive by automotive standards. It is composed mostly of zirconium (extremely expensive), followed by beryllium (extremely expensive), titanium (very expensive), copper (expensive), and nickel (expensive). There are few opportunities for cost reduction, even if you include bulk purchasing due to automotive volumes.
