NASA Unveils 3D‑Printable GRX‑810 Alloy for Extreme‑Temperature Engines

Resonant acoustic mixing coats metal powder with oxide nanoparticles to form an ODS material suited to 3D printing durable parts.

El GRX-10 puede durar hasta un año a 1.027 °C bajo cargas de tensión que agrietarían cualquier otra aleación asequible en cuestión de horas.

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.
