DU?
Please, Herr Gregorie, I hardly know you. 
But seriously, I was wondering that myself. The last time I heard of DU in the context of materials, it was the _depleted uranium_ used for 30mm cannon shells of the A10 Warthog and the mass balances in early Boeing jetliners.

DU is a brand name or type designation of a bushing made by IGUS.
