This New 3D Printable Wonder Material Could Help Propel NASA’s Future Missions Into Deep Space | UAP

NASA reports that it has tested a new 3D-printed rocket engine component made from a novel material that could help to hasten an era of deep space flights that are able to carry larger payloads.

The rocket nozzle is assembled from a new weldable variety of aluminum that is heat-resistant enough for use in rockets but is also more lightweight than other nozzles used in conventional rocket engines.

The component’s development was the result of the combined efforts of engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and their industry partners at Colorado-based Elementum 3D.

NASA Material Development for Future Deep Space Missions

Aluminum is an ideal material for the development of rocket components because of its ability to provide significant strength without increased weight since it is a low-density metal. The downside of its use is that it also traditionally possesses minimal tolerance to extreme heat and is notorious for cracking when being welded.

Recognizing its potential, engineers with NASA’s Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project decided to see whether aluminum could be engineered in such a way that it could become a viable material for use in 3D printing rocket components.

The result was A6061-RAM2, a novel aluminum variant that, when paired with a specialized powder in a process known as laser powder-directed energy deposition, or LP-DED, succeeded in producing the RAMFIRE rocket nozzles.

GRX-810, a similar alloy the space agency has developed, is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and other demanding environmental conditions, according to past research into the material’s capabilities.
