Chitinite

Chitinite is a metal created soley by the Chong Ren.

General Information
Chitinite is a strong metal, stronger than iron and steel, but not as strong as Deiminium. During its semi-molten state, it is highly malleable and able to be shaped in a miriad of ways, however most Chong Ren blacksmiths shape it to look insectine, with many bug-like features. Once cooled, Chitinite has a dark-grey to light-grey color. The forging process leaves the metal extremely heat-resistant, able to withstand thousands of degrees of heat before starting to warm up.

Forging Process
Chitinite begins as Iron. When chitninte needs to be forged, the iron is taken to a smithy, where it subjected to the poweful flames of a Diyu Kunchong. The molten chemicals not only melts the iron, but the chemical processes change the chemical properties of the iron, changing it to Chitinite.
