i am looking for a strong lightweight metal that does not conduct heat relatively well, for firefighting use?
Natural Quit Smoking Magic
smoking makeshift aluminum foil pipe bad
There is more aluminum in a Pepto Bismol serving than you'd inhale from smoking out of a tin foil pipe onceIt's not going to give you aluminum poisoning to smoke out of an aluminum foil pipe once, but in the long term it could still cause problemsBest to get a glass pipe sooner or later.
Most all metals conduct heat wellYou should look into some other material such as plastics or ceramicsBut of the metals, stainless steel has the lowest thermal conductivity, about 1/20th of copper thermal conductivity of Silver is 429 W/mK thermal conductivity of Copper is 401 W/mK thermal conductivity of Gold is 310 W/mK thermal conductivity of Aluminum 250 W/mK thermal conductivity of Beryllium is 218 W/mK thermal conductivity of Magnesium is 156 W/mK thermal conductivity of Zinc Zn is 116 W/mK thermal conductivity of Brass is 109 W/mK thermal conductivity of Nickel is 91 W/mK thermal conductivity of Iron is 80 W/mK thermal conductivity of Platinum is 70 W/mK thermal conductivity of Tin Sn is 67 W/mK thermal conductivity of Steel is 46 W/mK thermal conductivity of Lead is 35 W/mK thermal conductivity of Antimony is 18.5 W/mK thermal conductivity of Stainless Steel is 16 W/mK thermal conductivity of Mercury is 8 W/mK thermal conductivity of Granite is 2.2 W/mK thermal conductivity of glass is 1.1 W/mK thermal conductivity of water is 0.58 W/mK thermal conductivity of Brick dense 1.31 W/mK thermal conductivity of Brick work 0.69 W/mK thermal conductivity of Wood across the grain, white pine 0.12 W/mK thermal conductivity of Wood across the grain, yellow pine 0.147 W/mK thermal conductivity of Wood, oak 0.17 W/mK .
