Duraframe

Duraframe is an Enclave-developed technology that was used in the construction of the Duraframe Eyebot series, as well as Enclave Hellfire armor.

Background
Utilized in the reinforcement of combat model Eyebots at Adams Air Force Base by Dr. Whitley sometime around 2275, the development of the project was then hastened by Dr. Grant, a senior researcher on the project, at the behest of Colonel Augustus Autumn, who thought the project wasn't advancing fast enough. After the confrontation, Dr. Grant's involvement made it so the assets were transferred to the development of Hellfire armor despite protest from Dr. Whitley. Whitley then recorded an audio log, downloaded his research into Poseidon Energy and their Mojave area projects, along with the sum of Duraframe research, and sent Enclave Duraframe Subject E, the prototype and final functional model in the Duraframe Eyebot series, on a journey to Navarro.

By 2281, ED-E was struck down by a .308 round, with only his Duraframe reinforcement preventing him from permanent destruction, though it did destroy some parts and send him offline. Should it be "awakened", it has the potential to allow the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel to create their own army of Duraframe Eyebots.

Characteristics
While it is unknown what exactly Duraframe is, be it an engineering process, a mere model name, or a specialized alloy or material similar to Saturnite, it was utilized in the reinforcement of combat model Eyebots, the construction of Hellfire power armor, and can be reproduced by factions like the Brotherhood of Steel in enough amounts to produce small armies. It also can be re-applied to eyebots if they sustain enough damage, giving them a fresh look.
