Intent: to develop a new alloy that can withstand massive amounts of heat and lightsabers
Development Thread: if requested
Manufacturer: Inquisition Industries™, Inquisition Industries™ arms
Model: Hafrogen Alloy
Affiliation: open market
Modularity: other elements can be introduced to give the compound different effects
Production: Mass
Material: Hafnium, Carbon, Nitrogen
Description: The exotic alloy, which is a combination of metal hafnium, carbon and nitrogen, would only begin to melt into a liquid at temperatures of more than 4,126°C (7,460°F) - two thirds the temperature of the surface of a yellow sun. With it's high melting point this metal is very effective at stopping lightsabers in it's tracks. Not only that but this alloy could be the new helping hand in many new pieces of technology and inventions. It is the perfect alloy to use on ships that will be dealing with high speed re entry, thrusters that burn extremely hot and for long duriations and other ship systems that get exposed to high tempretures.
Although where heat is an advantage there are some minor set backs. If not properly treated and looked after the metal will oxidize relatively fast causing it to rust, crack and fall apart. Not only that if used for armor it is not very effective against slugthrowers or blunt weapons. The metal it's self is a rather light compound and useful in thick plating. The alloy is almost black but with a white pearlescent effect giving it a more silver tone. With having such special properties Inquisition industries has the formula of this alloy under lock and key meaning in order to use the metal it has to be purchased.
