NASA develops new copper alloy for 3D printing rocket components

Researchers from NASA have developed and 3D printed a new copper-based alloy for use in rocket propulsion components. GRCop-42, a high strength, high conductivity copper-based alloy, was created by a team from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Alabama and the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Ohio.  The result metal powder used to produce […]
