    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

    Ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. [1] They also often have high thermal conductivities and are highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning they can withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    Only momentum non-conserving processes can cause thermal resistance. [52] At high temperatures (T > Θ), the mean free path and therefore λ L has a temperature dependence T −1, to which one arrives from formula / by making the following approximation , < [clarification needed] and writing = /. This dependency is known as Eucken's law and ...

    Crystal structure of β-glucosidase from Thermotoga neapolitana (PDB: 5IDI).Thermostable protein, active at 80°C and with unfolding temperature of 101°C. [1]In materials science and molecular biology, thermostability is the ability of a substance to resist irreversible change in its chemical or physical structure, often by resisting decomposition or polymerization, at a high relative ...

  6. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance is kelvins per watt (K/W) or the equivalent degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W) – the two are the same since the intervals are equal: ΔT = 1 K = 1 °C. The thermal resistance of materials is of great interest to electronic engineers because most electrical components generate heat and need to be cooled.

    Small granite pillars have failed under loads that averaged out to about 1.43 ⋅ 10 8 Newtons/meter 2 and this kind of rock has a sonic speed of about 5.6 ± 0.3 ⋅ 10 3 m/sec (stp), a density of about 2.7 g/cm 3 and specific heat ranging from about 0.2 to 0.3 cal/g °C through the temperature interval 100-1000 °C [Stowe pages 41 & 59 and ...

    The alloy exhibits a higher creep resistance and strength at high temperatures, making service temperatures of above 1060 °C possible for the material. The high resistivity of Mo-30W, an alloy of 70% molybdenum and 30% tungsten, against the attack of molten zinc makes it the ideal material for casting zinc. It is also used to construct valves ...

    For this reason C/SiC and SiC/SiC are used in the range of temperature between 1200 °C - 1400 °C. The oxidation resistance and the thermo-mechanical properties of these materials can be improved by incorporating a fraction of about 20-30% of UHTC phases, e.g., ZrB 2, into the matrix. [8]
