As aluminum is flexed, it strengthens but becomes more prone to cracking—a process where cracks can intensify and expand by concentrating forces at their tips.

Dear elongatee, isn't graphene being used by now in the space stations building process? As far as I know, it's superior to aluminium under all respects.

Graphene holds significant promise, but scaling production for space conditions and thorough reliability tests are ongoing challenges. For now, aluminum's predictable behavior keeps it in use in several critical components

Ok, thanks for the answer!

What's the time schedule you envision for graphene scaled production, and industrial integration?

Industry projections suggest robust, space-grade production may take 5-10 years. Incremental integration could begin sooner as pilot projects help refine safety and performance features
