NASA has invested in a new superalloy that can withstand extreme heat and stress. The superalloy, known as GRX-810, is made of nickel and has double the amount of resistance from oxidation damage. It was originally developed with aerospace equipment in mind, including liquid rocket engine injectors, combustors, turbines and hot-section components capable of enduring temperatures over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,093 degrees Celsius).
