The material, called GRX-180, may help create parts for future spacecraft.
“This superalloy has the potential to dramatically improve the strength and toughness of components and parts used in aviation and space exploration,” Dr. Tim Smith, lead author of the study and a researcher at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland,NASA’s new super alloy was created by using time-saving computer modeling, as well as 3D printing, which allowed the researchers to fuse different metals together layer by layer.
Having such a powerful and durable type of super alloy is important to space agencies like NASA, where rocket boosters and other parts of spacecraft often require those parts to reach insane temperatures while still maintaining their strength. We’ve already seenbeing created, so it will be intriguing to see what NASA does with this one.
Still, the development of this new super alloy is promising because it could make creating more durable spacecraft parts for future missions much easier. Additionally, it could lessen the likelihood of those same parts breaking when they reach intense heat temperatures while entering or exiting the atmosphere.
The development of this new material, as well as how the researchers have tested it thus far, is featured in a study they published in the

Here's How NASA is Planning to Protect Earth From Asteroids and CometsThe large impact craters dotting our planet are powerful reminders that asteroids and comets strike the Earth from time to time. As often said, it’s not a question of “if”; it’s a matter of “when” our planet will face an impending strike from space. But an impact is one existential threat humanity is finally starting … Continue reading 'Here's How NASA is Planning to Protect Earth From Asteroids and Comets'
