stainless steel

Explanation:

Conductivity refers to the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity. It is the ratio of the current density in the material and the electric field.

The thermal conductivity of a material measures its ability to conduct heat.

In materials of low thermal conductivity, heat transfer occurs at a lower rate as compared to materials of high thermal conductivity.

Thermal expansion of the material refers to its tendency to change its shape, area, and volume as a result of change in temperature.

The electrical resistance of a material refers to the measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current.

Stainless steel has a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity along with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion and higher electrical resistance.
