PRODUCT BULLETIN
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY VS.
THERMAL INERTIA
Thermal conductivity has traditionally been the
primary metric considered for material selection
to manage heat.
Higher
density materials absorb more energy than lower
densities, so materials like steel have higher thermal
conductivity
than less-dense
ceramics.
