Thanks Flexmaster. The "LiquidMetal" I'm talking about is some new-fangled, high strength amorphous metal alloy, not the epoxy of which you speak (I thought the same thing when I first heard about it!)
I am looking in to using "LiquidMetal" (ref http://www.liquidmetal.com/) for use in a medical product. I need to hear from someone who has tried working with the stuff. Can it be drawn into tubing? Is it machinable? Grinding? etc.
Thanks,

Heat treat and temper in a vacuum or inert atmosphere if possible. I'm no metallurgist, but the corrosion resistance of 440C can be seriously affected by heat treatment, and my experience has been that surface oxidation, crud & corruption or whatever, caused by exposure to air during heat...
How about another approach - I've used a vacuum to suck the chips immediately up. A vacuum venturi (check out http://www.anver.com or http://www.exair.com)and some clear tubing works well for smaller machines.
