This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines NASA Marshall Space Flight Center's requirements for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) component builds of nickel-based alloys for GRCop-42 component testing. The SOW covers five primary tasks: (1) completing 16 chamber liner builds using GRCop-42, (2) leasing an L-PBF machine for two months to process various burn-resistant nickel-based alloys with 432 available machine hours, (3) conducting mechanical testing on at least 50 samples, (4) machining 2K components per NASA specifications, and (5) post-processing chamber channels with surface enhancements.

The performance period runs from April 1, 2025, through December 10, 2025, with deliverables including built parts from each task, test reports, machined parts, and processed chambers. All materials and components will be shipped to NASA's Central Receiving at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The project focuses on developing additive manufacturing capabilities for specialized aerospace alloys, specifically targeting burn-resistant and high-performance materials for NASA's advanced propulsion and aerospace applications.
