Aviation
- Amorphous metals offer high strength and elasticity, making them ideal for high-performance aviation parts like gearboxes, actuators, and precision positioning devices.
- Amorphous metals perform exceptionally in extreme cryogenic conditions, making them suitable for high-altitude and space applications, where precision and reliability are critical.
- Their low stiffness allows for the creation of compliant mechanisms and springs that handle heavy loads while maintaining flexibility, crucial for aerospace applications.
- High wear and corrosion resistance ensure long-term reliability of components like flexures, inserts, and fasteners, reducing maintenance in demanding aviation environments.
