Durasteel was an incredibly strong and versatile metal alloy, created from carvanium, lommite, carbon, meleenium, neutronium, and zersium. It was capable of withstanding blistering heat, frigid cold, and monumental physical stress, even when very thin. Because of these properties, durasteel was used for almost everything, from smelting pots for other less hearty metals, to spacecraft hulls. Despite that, however, it could still oxidize. Durasteel containers were commonly seen throughout the galaxy.

Darth Vader's armor was mostly made of durasteel, as was Boba Fett's before he upgraded during the Second Galactic Civil War to armor made of Beskar.

Both durasteel and duracrete were used for the buildings of Bartyn's Landing.^[1]

Durasteel gradesEdit

Durasteel was produced in various grades of heat treatment and alloy composition for different construction purposes. Some of these were:

• 9093-T7511 grade
