1. A metal component, comprising:
an alloy consisting essentially of an amorphous microstructure wherein the alloy has an elastic deformation of 0.2% or greater;
wherein:
the metal component has a first dimension greater than 1.5 mm; and
a second dimension greater than 1.5 mm; and
a composition of the alloy changes through a bulk of the metal component while maintaining an amorphous microstructure throughout and
wherein:
the amorphous microstructure comprises a microstructure dimension of from about 0.01 mm to about 0.75 mm; and
the metal component is formed by a plurality of droplets wherein each of the plurality of droplets has been cooled at a rate of from about 100,000° C./sec to about 200,000° C./sec.
