Hello,
You can create a list of materials with the following mechanical and thermal properties at 250 °C :
- yield strength [MPa]
- ultimate strength [MPa]
- Young's modulus [MPa]
- thermal expansion coefficient [mm/mm/°C]
- thermal diffusivity [m^2/s]
- (inverse of the) thermal effusivity [SI]
Thus you have physical criteria for classification of materials.
Regards,
