SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a non-electrically conductive material with a yield strength of approximately 1100 MPa at temperatures around 200°C. Participants suggest aluminum oxide ceramic as a viable option, noting its temperature resistance but highlighting its lower flexural strength of 330 MPa. The conversation also raises questions about the necessity of such high strength for a housing material, suggesting a potential redesign for easier sourcing of materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties such as yield strength and flexural strength
  • Knowledge of high-temperature materials and their applications
  • Familiarity with non-electrically conductive materials and their classifications
  • Basic principles of material selection for engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research aluminum oxide ceramic properties and applications
  • Explore alternative non-electrically conductive materials with high yield strength
  • Investigate material redesign strategies for housing applications
  • Learn about high-temperature engineering materials and their specifications
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and product designers involved in high-temperature applications requiring non-electrically conductive materials.

Hello!

I'm building a thing that needs to survive in extreme conditions.
So I'm looking for a non-electrical conductive material that has a yield strength around 1100 MPa at temperature around 200 C.

As long as the material is available on the market, cost will not be a problem.

We really do need to have you very carefully parse this expression for meaning.

Edited. Sorry for my english
 
Is the material "an insulator?" Is it not?

You want it to be electrically nonconductive?

Or, maybe you want it to conduct heat but not conduct electricity?

Sorry for the late reply, it has not to be an insulator. It is more like a housing.

Thanks for the reply. I just want it to be electrically non-conductive. I just need a material that is stable at these temperature.
 
Aluminum oxide ceramic has the compressive strength and temperature resistance you want. It's flexural strength is only around 330 MPa, though.

I think you may want to redesign your housing to use something easier to source.

Why do you need a material that would have to be stronger than most high tensile steels just for a housing ?
