Hey there people...

I am curious about the plethora of high temp metals, specifically heat treated and the like. It seems like stainless steel is used a lot, but I see that titanium used for that too. If a person was to want to make a heat shield (example...not specifically a heat shield) what metals are the lightest but yet the most resistant to the affects of high heat. I have seen so many types, with percentages of nickle and other alloys. Anyone have a link to a primer on this?

Thanks in advance...
