GRX-810: A 3D Printable Alloy Designed for Extreme Environments
Category: Process/Prototyping
Developers: NASA's Glenn Research Center
Co-Developers: N/A
United States
Product Description:This oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloy, created using a novel additive manufacturing (AM) technique, withstands harsher conditions making it suitable for high-temperature applications, such as inside aircraft and rocket engines. GRX-810 is twice as strong and resistant to oxidation, and over 1,000 times more durable than traditional AM high temperature alloys.
