NASA’s GRX-810 expands the material options for hot engine parts
A NASA-developed alloy addresses a difficult part of metal printing: surviving extreme heat.
What happened
NASA’s August 2025 account describes GRX-810, an alloy developed at Glenn Research Center for printed components exposed to extreme temperatures. Its principal metals include nickel, cobalt and chromium.
The powder incorporates ceramic oxide particles to improve high-temperature performance. NASA frames the work as a way to make oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloys more practical to manufacture.
This archive brief covers the agency’s technology-transfer account, rather than a new October launch. Material performance remains tied to processing conditions and the intended component.
