Jindal Stainless, has developed and supplied a special, high strength alloy steel grade that has been used in the motor casing of India’s ambitious third lunar mission, the Chandrayaan-3. The specialised grade supplied to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), usually imported from several countries, has been meticulously developed over a span of three years with the help of advanced refining process, bolstering India’s race to space while meeting the stringent quality standards and specifications of the crucial project.
The heat-resistant material shields the motor from both shocks as well as elevated temperatures. Its exceptional properties, which persist even under the most extreme thermal conditions, underscore the alloy steel grade’s reliability and suitability for critical space missions.
