Summary: NASA's superalloy GRX-810, designed for extreme air and space conditions, will be licensed to four U.S. companies. The 3D-printable material offers stronger, more durable parts for airplanes and spacecraft, enduring over 2,000°F temperatures. GRX-810 lasts 2,500 times longer than other alloys, improves fuel efficiency, and lowers operating costs. NASA's Technology Transfer Program aims to commercialize inventions for the benefit of the U.S. economy.
