Steel-firing is a process by which layers of iron, steel, and narrite are mixed with carbon and placed under imense heat and pressure, forming a strong alloy. Layers of stable, super-heavy metals sometimes strengthen the mix.
A steel-fired layer might squeeze as much as five feet of material to an inch's thickness through the use of artificial gravity. Steel-firing results in extremly strong, immensely heavy armor typically used for starship hulls, though occasionally adopted by mechs.
Mercury Ships in particular use steel-fired armor, sandwiching layers of regular iron and steel between steel-fired layers in the outer hull.
