Nasa invents ‘revolutionary’ material 1,000 times better than state-of-the art spaceship alloys

Nasa scientists have invented a new metal alloy that is 1,000 times more durable than current state-of-the-art materials used in aviation and space exploration.

The US space agency believes that Alloy GRX-810 could revolutionise space travel, as it can withstand far harsher conditions than existing materials used within rocket engines.
 
“This breakthrough is revolutionary for materials development,” said Dale Hopkins, deputy project manager of Nasa’s Transformational Tools and Technologies project

NASA Alloy GRX-810 Is the Nasty Name of a Fancy New Super Strong Metal

It’s not every day one comes across a piece of news claiming a new material has been discovered or created. This is why as soon as something called NASA Alloy GRX-810 reached us, we were immediately intrigued.

At the forefront of space exploration for decades, NASA does not limit itself at building rockets and training astronauts to fly them. The organization is also heavily involved in research in several fields, including new materials.

This week, the guys from the Glenn Research Center announced the creation of the said Alloy GRX-810. That would be an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy meant to be used to make components and parts used in aviation and space exploration.

The metal, at least at first glance, is super strong. We’re told it is capable of withstanding temperatures of over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,093 Celsius), and, compared with other state-of-the-art materials, it is twice more likely to resist fracturing, three and a half times more flexible, and can survive 1,000 times longer under stress at high temperatures.
