Intent: To make an alloy derived of MerrSteel, yet more useful, and lighter, alongside bringing real metallurgy to Chaos (shout out to Mando Steel)
Development Thread: If needed..
Manufacturer: Merr-Sonn, Inc.
Model: MerrTitan
Affiliation: MSI // Limited Market
Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Major Materials:
Classification: n/a
Weight: Varies (*)
Quality: 7
Special Features: Durability
Strengths:
Description: MerrSteel could be argued as the first of Merr-Sonn's true works to provide for the galactic populace, however that changes with the introduction of MerrTitan. Through the application the steel with several other metallurgical processes, the newest is made to be far lighter, lighter than even Songsteel, but maintaining most of its incredible durability. However, with that comes a loss of a portion of its heat resisting properties, thusly making it more prone to damage from lightsabers, or reaching a melting point.
The absolute first step of this project is electroplating carbon nanoparticles to be used in a process known as cavitation. The reason there is a process within a process, within a process, of course, is to allow the capability of every step maintaining durability. Firstly, when adding carbon nanoparticles to any alloy, there is the ever present issue with clumping, therefore not dispering into the mixture properly. The result is an alloy that within, locating in multiple regions, there is an ultra hardened material. But the rest of the metal? It becomes brittle, to brittle for most processes required of the alloy. But cavitation, or the application of sonic pulses, allows rapid expansion and retraction of waves that cause bubbling in the alloy. The result is, upon the final and strongest wave, the bubbles popping, dispersing all clumps evenly throughout. This in and of itself already allows for hardening, true hardening, of materials.
Through this method, even steel can become ten times harder than it is at resting.
But then came the electroplating of the carbon nanoparticles. This is performed via electrical applications to an electrolyte mixture containing a MerrSteel salt, so that during the process, involving negatively charging the ions within the electrolyte, the alloy slinks upward into carbon's cell to encase it properly. Thusly when these new hybridal MerrSteel-carbon particles are added, they could make potentially the hardest substance to exist.
The problem there in would be density, and over all weight. At this point, taking a progress that made one of the most durable and heavy metals in existence harder, and heavier, it would be damn near useless via all means. Hence, microlattice mesh additions made from a cooling, therefore malleable, state of the MerrSteel 2.0. Through processes involving machine driven rolling, hollowing, and like, there are hollow nanotubes crafted from the product. These then get formed into mesh that is layered and layered until making a solid shape.
Results? A material physically more resistant to wear and tear, while being near 90% lighter than its predecessor, yet losing a large portion of its resistance to energy attacks, heat, etcetera. A grade a material to many.

Manufacturer: Merr-Sonn, Inc.

Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Major Materials:
- MerrSteel
- Electroplated Carbon Nanoparticles
Classification: n/a
Weight: Varies (*)
Quality: 7
- Lightsabers/Heat/Blasters ~ 6
- Blunt Force ~ 8
Special Features: Durability
Strengths:
- [ Damn, Light and Tough, Nice ] ~ MerrSteel, while incredibly durable, was made to be exponentially heavy. Thus MerrTitan was made. It takes the original alloy, then with inclusion of nanotubing, electroplating, and like, has gone from heavy as they come, to lightweight yet retaining most of its durability.
- [ Zzzzzzzt ] ~ While metal acts as a honing rod for electricity, this is ever more present in the metal. If sustained, the flow actually amplifies. A shock from dragging feet can even be painful.
- [ Alterations Non Applicable ] ~ Due to the massive heat sensitive properties, this metal must be kept at a perpetually semi-viscous state. Once it hardens, nothing short of utter destruction or molten temperatures will allow it to be changed.
- [ That is C-c-cold! ] ~ As above, because the metal is such a combatant to heat, it is lethal to use much of the material in cold climates (Tundras, Cryokinetic situations, etc)
