Trinium

An incredibly strong and lightweight alloy. Trinium is rather rare and not found on Earth, though the S.G.C. has secured its own off-world trinium mine. Unrefined it is extremely brittle, and unsuitable for manufacturing purposes. When refined, however, the metal is approximately 100 times lighter and stronger than steel.
