Durasteel is a complex alloy formed from binding synthetic neutronium, lommite, and zesium molecules with meleenium in a process known as matrix acceleration. The resulting material possesses incredible mechanical strength and resiliency, thousands of times more than most traditional materials. The matrix-acceleration process is superficially similar to that which is used to create the substance known as Dura-Armor. However, the alloying proportions and mechanical characteristics of durasteel and Dura-Armor are quite different (among other things, Dura-Armor omits meleenium entirely), and this is reflected in their applications.
