cameron marical Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I know this is a short post containing what I am saying now, but i just have on simple question and do not have any others. {Except} What Is the strongest{temperature wise}material out there? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontanman Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Ceramics would be my guess, several metals can also withstand those temps. Carbon can if it's not incontact with oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron marical Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Can ceramics withstand high pressures and water vapor? I guess i should have included that. What metals? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Most of the transition metals are good with heat, but i think the best wood be platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Any of the valve metals (tantalum, titanium, niobium, tunsten, hafnium, etc.) or platinum group metals (commonly platinum and nickel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 There are better ones, but Alumina Silicate (Mullite) is pretty inert at high temperatures and is pretty cheap too. What do want it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 bear in mind 600 is easily achievable by a bunsen burner so you should be familiar with things which can handle that temperature. How about a saucepan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Even Aluminium will stand 600C (not with much leeway) but I doubt it would have any useful srength at that temperature. Steel would be an easy option. What do you want to do with this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
