Comment by Melatonic 9 hours ago Was "LiquidMetal" anything more than a good aluminum alloy ? 5 comments Melatonic Reply s0rce 9 hours ago Yes, it was an amorphous metal alloy. I knew people from grad school that worked for the company.They have interesting properties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_51frrQzCYM bayindirh 9 hours ago Yes.I have a Sandisk Titanium flash drive which is the first practical application of the alloy, shortly before Apple snapped it.It's feels solid, not wearing down and pretty robust for what it is. It doesn't get scratches like aluminum alloys.It's entirely something else. Melatonic 9 hours ago So it's Titanium? That's cool - what's the name of the flash drive and or do you have more info ? Always loved titanium stuff bayindirh 9 hours ago Nope, it's called/branded "Titanium". The thing was built from Liquid Metal.Image of the thing: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,wi... s0rce 9 hours ago I think most of the commercial liquid metal like the sandisk drive were zirconium based.
