A Seattle-based startup, Modumetal is commercializing a new process that will increase the strength of steel and other metals by as much as 10 times, while also making them more resistant to corrosion. The process makes use of nano-laminate layers that coat the metal to achieve these impressive results.
The process creates multiple discrete layers, only nanometers thick, so it will keep the metal lightweight while keeping the strength-to-weight ratio high, and creating a more corrosion resistant material.
