Recommendations for cheap yet stiff thermally conductive material
- Thread starter Mabrouk92
- Start date
Aluminum, unless you come up with a set of useful specs.

Best of luck - Even half of copper has aluminum sitting at that spot all alone.

Materials
Diamond, Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminum, and then it drops off drastically.
I know of nothing cheap that has any reasonable TC.
Unless you are willing to use pure iron or pure zinc I don't know where you will turn.

There are materials that aren't on that chart.
Silicon carbide >> 120
Silicon nitride >> 86-120
Alunimum nitride >> 150-220
When the physics goes against you, it's time to rethink the engineering. You've been exceedingly reticent, which is not helping you in the least.

IR, I left them out of my list because I also know the cost of high density engineering ceramics.
Compare the TC of reaction bonded SiC to direct sintered, huge difference.

Wasn't really my aim; it was to get the OP to rethink his solution space

Steel and iron are a bit far from half of copper, though.

Steel and iron are highly thermally conductive compared to wood, though.
Original poster needs to study the application's actual requirements.

Sure, but the OP specifically stated "up to half the thermal conductivity of copper," which is the ONLY specification they've even bothered to bother us with.

But that's the FOB price on the surface of a neutron star...shipping costs are extra...
