Overview
- NASA reports GRX-810 withstands about 1,027 °C under load for up to a year, far outlasting comparable affordable alloys.
- The alloy is based on nickel, cobalt and chromium with a microscopic ceramic‑oxide coating that remains effective even after recycling.
- Elementum 3D produces GRX-810 under a NASA license, supplying quantities from small batches to runs exceeding a metric ton.
- Initial large‑scale production testing showed roughly double the lifespan compared with earlier small‑batch material, according to Elementum 3D CTO Jeremy Iten.
- Aerospace partners, including Vectoflow, are testing GRX‑810 components such as turbine flow sensors that could reduce replacements and improve fuel efficiency.
