The NanoSteel® Company is a privately held business headquartered in Rhode Island which has developed a new class of steel alloys, known as Super Hard Steel® (SHS), that provide increases in strength surpassing conventional and advanced high strength steels.
 
NanoSteel, founded in 2002 as a spin-off from the Idaho National Laboratory, holds 76 U.S. patents / patents pending including an exclusive worldwide license to nanostructured iron-based alloys developed by the United States Department of Energy.
 
NanoSteel’s long term vision is to become the world leader in high strength sheet steel based on its patented nanotechnology.
 
NanoSteel is presently a worldwide leader in the development of bulk materials nanotechnology.
 
NanoSteel has successfully introduced more than 15 first generation proprietary alloys for applications as thin and thick metallic coatings in the most severe and extreme industrial service environments.
 
Based on platform technology which has won five R&D 100 Awards, NanoSteel’s alloys for applications as metallic coatings are stronger than current steels and feature unique property sets which result in exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion and longer service lifetime than conventional alloys.
 
At its R&D facilities in Idaho, NanoSteel has the capability to develop proprietary alloys for specific industrial applications.
