A bunch of different alloys that have since been used in a large number of industries for various purposes:

Titanium alloys were lighter and more durable and made them ideal for use as bicycle frames or even in some medical applications.
Here’s a good list… a decent portion of those are every day items that we’ve gotten used to or just take for granted: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/20-inventions-we-wouldnt-have-without-space-travel

Here’s a link to a tech brief from NASA in 1969 where they discuss the potential for some of their invented alloys to be used in medical applications for implants and prosthetics: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19690000087/downloads/19690000087.pdf
