-aluminum alloys- aluminum on its own will not work, not durable enough, but is a common additive in alloys. aluminum is highly conductive of electricity. by volume its conductivity is only 60% of copper. Aluminum under normal circumstances is non-magnetic. Almost all aluminium alloys can be used at temperatures down to -45 °C, and almost all titanium alloys
-titanium and titanium alloys - Titanium can withstand the extreme hazards of space including temperature fluctuations, and cosmic and solar radiation. is lightweight. it is non-magnetic and a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Titanium has a high melting point of 3135°F (1725°C). Titanium is not a good conductor of electricity. If the conductivity of copper is considered to be 100%, titanium would have a conductivity of 3.1%. titanium is weakly magnetic
-reinforced carbon-carbon composite - can handle extreme heat
-kevlar - can handle extreme hot and cold, can be used as a protective wrap to protect from space debris
-thermal glass - It withstands exceedingly hot and cold temperatures without cracking or breaking.
-silica cloth and silica aerogels
-High-temperature reusable surface insulation
-Nomex Felt
-grade 5 titanium alloy- used up to approximately 400 °C, It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium. The alloy is fully heat treatable in section sizes up to 15mm and is used up to approximately 400°C (750°F). Ti 6Al-4V is the most widely used of all Titanium grades. It is typically available in the annealed condition and is readily heat treatable to increase strength, for a wide range of applications. As a general-purpose alloy, Ti 6Al-4V has a broad spectrum of desirable properties at temperatures around -210°C – 400°C.
i think we should use titanium or titanium-aluminum alloys for our device
