Thread: Heat Resistant Materials

I am wondering, my friend wanted to know about some of the most Heat Resistant Materials (Refractive) for a Space Drop Pod..

I have a few materials in mind, but some other light Refractive composites would be nice.

Tungsten melts at 3422°C
Carbon Melts at 3652°C
Boron melts at 2076°C
Tungsten Carbide 2870 °C

cadmium is about the highest I can think of that u dont have already up there

Cadmium melts at a low temperature.

Only at 321°C

really? I guess thats my b
