You may also be looking for tritium, titanium or tritanium.

Trititanium was a type of material used in the construction of Orion scout ship hulls.

If sufficiently dense, trititanium can block the sensor probes of a Constitution-class starship. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")

While the name is similar, according to the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual (p.19), trititanium is not the same substance as tritanium. According to the reference book trititanium, symbol Tt, atomic weight 328, atomic number 128, was first discovered on Motherlode in 2184.
According to the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Gene Roddenberry, the hull of the refitted USS Enterprise was made of trititanium.
