This is where amorphous metals, also known as metallic glass, come into play. Such metals have proven to be true all-rounders for <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/medical\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical<\/a> technology, exhibiting extraordinary properties: because they are formed by shock-freezing metallic melts, the atoms have no way of forming a crystalline lattice and thus solidify in a disordered (amorphous) manner. This disordered internal structure makes the material corrosion-resistant, extremely strong and at the same time highly elastic. As a result, it can be used close to the bone as well as cut to size individually, and even thinner plates are stable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmorphous metals have a number of advantages over steel and titanium: This material combines the benefits of strength and elasticity. It adapts perfectly to the bone, promotes recovery and is also very well tolerated, as it can be implanted without cell deformation,\u201d said Valeska Melde, Head of Marketing &amp; Sales at Heraeus Amloy.<\/p>\n<p>Heraeus Amloy is currently developing new alloys for the production of implants. \u201cAs p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> of the CAMed project, we are currently testing the AMLOY-ZR02 alloy. Its main component is high-purity zirconium and it has already been certified as biocompatible,\u201d explained J\u00fcrgen Wachter, Head of the Heraeus Amloy business unit. The company is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer two different process technologies. In addition to additive manufacturing, amorphous metals can also be processed by injection molding. The latter would be p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>icularly suitable for mass production \u2013 of surgical screws or instruments.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/heraeus-demonstrates-amorphous-metals-for-3d-printing-medical-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
