Intent: To expand upon real life metallurgic methods
Development Thread: If needed..
Manufacturer: Merr-Sonn, Inc.
Model: MS "Titan Steel" Alloy Mk 1
Affiliation: Selective Markets
Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Material: (In order of most prominent)
Weight: Varies with subs, though generally very lightweight
Quality: 8.5
Firstly Merr-Sonn metallurgists, after word from Damien Daemon, and Valashu Elahad, set about starting at base processes, those already known to make materials stronger. As Titanium is one of the easiest, and despite it all one of the cheapest, to manipulate they chose it as a base for the material. Additions were added though, high levels of chromium, with additions of Iron as well as heavy amounts of Tungsten.
What was a hefty and durable, but easily not the strongest, has now been changed vastly. With additions of Chromium the plating, or slabs of the material, are denser against scratching and slashing, while with addition of Tungsten also adds a tensile strength greatly passing Durasteel, and superbly passing general Steel. Ostrine was added toward the means of heavy heat absorption.
After properly allowing the separate minerals a chance to combine on proper levels, yet while still malleable and mold able, the next process begins. Putting the new alloy through two massive rolling pins, through which they hin the metal. Via each of the pins moving on different speeds, they are forcing large grains to break down into smaller grains. Afterwards moderate heating is added to force bonding between smaller crystals. This results in overlay of small crystals around large crystals, making the resulting metal heavily more durable because the surrounding layer of small grains makes it difficult for the large grains to deform.
The next step is a direct step by step replica to the MerrTitan:
The end result is a type on par with MerrSteel in tensile strength, while also lighter than MerrTitan.

Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Material: (In order of most prominent)
- Titanium
- Tungsten
- Atronel's Ostrine
- Chromium
- Iron
- MerrSteel Electroplated Carbon
Weight: Varies with subs, though generally very lightweight
Quality: 8.5
- Ballistics (Non Energy Weapon) ~ 9
- Lightsaber/Blaster ~ 7
- Lightsaber Resistance
- Very Durable
- Lightweight
- [ Light and Durable ] ~ The material is a very durable alloy, even able to absorb heat from lightsaber blades, lessening the damage they do
- [ $$$$ ] ~ The process, not the minerals, is quite expensive so not many will take it everywhere, for risk of breaking the item and having to have it replaced
- [ Corrosion ] ~ The aforementioned is not so protected against, letting one potentially damage the integrity of their items if exposed to heavily corrosive materials
- [ Kinetic Damage ] ~ While there is a damned good wall against which one has defenses, everything underneath is still gooey meat bag, and easily damaged
- [ Sense of Imperviousness ] ~ Merr-Sonn is not held responsible for the feelings that one can be untouchable when using this material

Via the end of this, one finds they have a lightweight, but very durable alloy able to molded to meet many needs. But this still is not where the process ends. When Merr-Sonn, Inc. is properly manufacturing an item for someone, they will shape it as properly deemed before super heating once more. Up until the point where it is beginning to be malleable, then it is quickly cryogenically frozen, forcing the tensile density to solidify. A sword takes one more step to harden, a suit of armor? Same. Gun barrel? Just the same.
The end result is a type on par with MerrSteel in tensile strength, while also lighter than MerrTitan.
