Amorphous Alloys in Sensor Technology

  • Their high strength (1.6 GPa tensile) allows space and weight savings (up to 20% over equivalent steel components) without sacrificing strength, providing greater freedom of design.
  • Due to their low hysteresis and good temperature resistance, amorphous metals also outperform conventional materials and ensure reliability.
  • The corrosion resistance, which is comparable with titanium or stainless steel, extends the lifespan of sensor components and increases their reliability. 
  • These materials are resistant to extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures and humidity.
  • The high sensitivity enables greater accuracy and high resolution in low pressure ranges.
  • Applications include pressure sensors, diaphragms, load cells, and force transducers.
