Embossed stainless sheet, 0.010" alloy that won't loose it's shape to ~1500deg F.
I was speaking with a gasket manufacturer years back about having them make us some gaskets for an automotive application (exhaust system), where temps would regularly be around 1200-1500deg F.
They told me that doing multi layer sheets with an embossed ring in 3xx grade stainless would be useless, as they embossment would flatten out immediately upon use.
They recommended a different grade that was commonly available.... anyone have any experience with this? I've been looking at high temp spring steels but have only come up with exotic materials that would be hard or cost prohibitive to come by.
Thanks in advance!
