Many thanks - I'll bear this in mind.
Since posting I have been told that PEI / POM might fit the bill but mouding will be prohibitively expensive - therefore the item would have to be cut from sheet.
Heres a link with full comparative specs given by a German maufacturer

Hi,
Can someone give me advice on a casting alloy of Al and / or CU that will have similar properties to 6063-T5 (an extruded alloy of aluminum)?
Key matches are:
Coefficient of thermal expansion
Thermal conductivity
Hardness
It also needs to be able to be machined easily and avoid cracking...

Hi,
Can someone recommend a type of plastic that could be used to replace a steel component that's 0.5mm thick?
It has to be:
1. As strong as steel
2. Able to resit warping between 10-80 degrees C
3. Currently available commercially
4. Relatively cheap
5. Able to be formed into an exact shape...
