Description: Original NASA Apollo Saturn IB Pratt & Whitney RL-10 Rocket Engine Inconel-Silver Brazed Engine Bell Section. The material is so durable that a Diamond Saw was needed to cut it. All surfaces were them carefully burnished to allow easy handling. Inconel is a Chromium and Nickel alloy chosen for it's excellent high temperature strength, corrosion resistance and strength to weight ratio. These Inconel "tubes" were brazed together with a high strength Silver/Gold alloy for maximum resistance to deformation and heat conductivity. These tubes carried cryogenic fuel to keep the critical parts from over heating during engine burn. This artifact represents the lower edge of the engine bell. The basic dimensions are: Approximately 3.2 inches long by 2.2 inches wide by 0.35 inches thick. The Pratt & Whitney RL-10 reference photos feature the many Inconel cooling tubes used on the engine bell. References can be found on Google Images. Just type NASA Saturn P+W RL-10 Rocket Engine.
