Claim 6:
7. A method for jetting a metal, comprising:
introducing a first alloy into an ejector defining an inner cavity and an exit nozzle;
heating the first alloy in the ejector to form a liquid;
ejecting a liquid droplet of the first alloy from the exit nozzle;
allowing the liquid droplet to cool at a rate of from about 100,000° C./sec to about 200,000° C./sec to form an amorphous microstructure comprising a microstructure dimension of from about 0.01 mm to about 0.75 mm; and
ejecting liquid droplets in a plurality of layers until a metal component is formed, wherein the metal component has a first dimension greater than 1.5 mm, and the metal component has a second dimension greater than 1.5 mm.
