    Titanium blocks ambient heat because it blocks pressure. Ambient heat relies on the air velocity. If pressure cannot diffuse, there is no velocity. If there is no velocity, ambient heat cannot convect.
    If you want it to be acid resistant, coat it in a layer of acid resistant material.

     But if ambient heat is in the space surrounding the ttan, it will melt the ttan.

    @therocketeer he does have a point!!!. @belugawhale, I like this suggestion very much good luck with it.

    Bump!

    What is wrong with a new element that blocks ambient heat, is acid resistant, and conducts electricity?

    I Wouldn't mind having this, its a good idea.

    although it should be rather brittle to pressure as aluminium is quite brittle in real life.

    If you want aluminium blocks AmbHeat, it can't be affected by ambient heat. Its temp must be stable even it's surrounded by extreme AmbHeat. If not, AmbHeat heats ALUM, and the heat of ALUM will release its heat as AmbHeat to it's surrounding.

     Read my first post. "Blocks Ambient Heat. Does not conduct ambient heat"

    A better name would be Tungsten. It's still a single element and a metal, but it conducts heat very slowly compared with other metals. It's also very strong and has a high melting point.  

     

    A few facts: 

    -Of all metals of pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point.

        -and highest tensile strength.

    -Tungsten has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion of any pure metal. (It expands under heat the least)

    -Alloying tungsten with steel greatly increases its toughness.

     

    I'm writing this here instead of a new thread as element suggestions aren't meant to be writing this way. Also it's almost the same thing you have thought up.

    OOooo...Tungsten...that's a good Idea.

     

    P.S. Hey Oats...Is that a vacuum tube computer? Me likey.

     Aluminum does not have the highest melting point. And I don't know why you kind of took over the thread.

     

    I'm wondering if aluminum is possible to code in TPT. Devs?
