Obsidian.

Obsidian melts at almost the same temperature as quartz! Anyway, obsidian is technically a glass as it is an amorphous solid consisting of various minerals with a complex internal structure.
So Catelite is right!
Sand + Heat = Molten Sand
Molten Sand - Heat = Glass
A lattice of QRTZ and PTCT and BMTL can achieve what you need (you just need to attach a self-destruct mechanism to the PTCT).
Glass = Obsidian
There is some other unrealistic elements like DMND. It is not indestructible. It can transform into something else (can't remember what) when heated. It can be smashed too.
Mix of QRTZ,PTCT and BMTL is not the thing. It will melt at 2500 C (i think). -

The PTCT will rapidly cool it. The required heat to melt it is greater than 2500 if you are talking about an external heat source, if it still melts, add GoL cooling units, a FRZW freezer and a PBCN cooling unit.
I honestly have no idea why you need something that can withstand such high temperatures. -

The obsidian never cools down itself.
I need that for making a furnance. I want to make it without DMND through.
Obsidian will be useful for some other projects of other people. Like bunkers. -
The Powder Toy isn't meant to be realistic. DMND isn't supposed to be diamond, it is supposed to be an indestructible pixel thick wall that is able to deflect photons. The the only thing I can think of that might help your problem is try to make the element yourself in a mod. If you can come up with more uses for it and the moderators think it is useful enough to put it in, they will. All of the info on how to make a mod is in the wiki. Sorry we aren't able to help you anymore.

A furnace can use QRTZ, it has a melting point higher than other melt-able elements. If you combine that with a liquid cooling system, it should be able to withstand the heat. -
I'm too lazy to make mod. I can try through if i won't have to write scripts (just choosing what reactions will be)
@code1949 (View Post)
It won't melt QRTZ then. -
Well a gravity and/or pressure based containment field would work...
Anyway, the idea of using a melt-able element for a furnace is rather redundant. QRTZ works well but apparently people also want to melt it while still having a melt-able furnace.
But.
If obsidian does get implemented, wouldn't that mean other people would demand the coding of an even stronger element so that they can make a furnace that can melt obsidian while still being made out of a meltable material? -

Yes, i can do that, but now another problem: how do i set temperature?
If i use PLSM, furnance will melt itself.
If i use FIRE, furnance won't melt anything.
If i use GOL, furnance will melt itself too.
I don't think so. But it can be coded to melt only at max temperature (9825 as i remember) and suggestions of even stronger element will stop. At least untill the max temperature stays the same. -

You can contain it using either pressure or gravity.
If it was coded to melt at max temperature, it might as well be heat-proof.
