More realistic max temperature for parts

In Stock KSP parts have enormous melting points even better than Space Shuttle or Buran had (around 2000-2500K for most parts).
this allows to reentry without any heatshields for example.

I suggest make various materials for parts, for example we can make our fuel tank from aluminum to get max temperature around 870K and lighter dry mass or make it from hafnium carbide or something else to get heat resistance around stock KSP level (2500K+) and big dry mass.

also if it possible to make will be very good to see conformal heatshields like conformal decals mod in KSP.
