Isolate what? Heat transfer or to protect the source?
ReplyDeleteMetals, which operates at this level are high temperature alloys, nickel, Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, and RA330. You are able to withstand repeated cycles of the atmosphere suitable in this temperature range.
The cost of these alloys is very high, at least $ 601 Inconel 15.00/pound.
If you need heat radiation, the use of metal, double-wall construction with air circulation in the space between the two by a method.
Ceramics can withstand high temperatures, even better, but are very expensive and difficult to manipulate.
Hope this helps.
Try to ashes on the insulating layer
ReplyDeleteYes, also about luck with it. All metals are good conductors of heat and electrical and provide light as aluminum and magnesium melt at a temperature much lower than you. I look at the use of steel or aluminum, perhaps for the structure and coated with refractory cement to isolate the metal from the heat. If you are looking for the truth with a weight of more exotic (expensive) "very easy" solution, with a little foam aluminum-ceramic coating, such as the Space Shuttle uses. The heat makes the aluminum (or through a crack or a pinhole) can be quickly dissipated by the conduction properties of aluminum fantastic.
