Thorasteel

ThoraSteel is a startup company that will produce and sell ultra-high strength steel tubing. The ThoraSteel process uses an engineered thermal cycle to convert commercial, off-the-shelf, tubes into high performance products. This patented process works on a variety of readily available steel grades and imparts a strength 250% to 350% higher than the starting tube. yet the tubes remain readily workable with good ductility and excellent weldability. ThoraSteel anticipates product availability in early-2025 and, until then, is engaging with prospective customers to collaboratively evaluate the suitability of ThoraSteel as a substitute for the tubing they currently use. In recent substitution comparisons, prospective customers found that ThoraSteel - Delivers significant Weight Reduction. 25%-35% weight reduction common. by using stronger tubing with less wall thickness - Is Cost Desirable. many applications result in a Cost-Neutral outcome. some find that costs actually reduce. dependent upon application specific parameters - Does not require significant changes in manufacturing and assembly practices. it is still steel tubing, just stronger with thinner wall
