Thermal properties of materials

Thermal properties of materials

What are the thermal properties of materials, and why is it that materials such as steel are chosen for a particular product design and wood is not considered? Thermal properties are present in every product development, as the most diverse parts will have to cope with requirements such as being subjected to intense heat for
