Thermal Expansion Coefficients: carbon_steel
Coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE, alpha) as a function of temperature for common engineering materials — steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, titanium, nickel superalloys, copper alloys, ceramics, and polymers at temperatures from -200C to 2000C (material-dependent)
| material | temperature C | CTE 1e6 per C (1e-6/C) | material category | mean CTE from 20C 1e6 per C (1e-6/C) | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| carbon_steel | -200 | 7.6 | steel | 8.5 | Low-alloy carbon steel (A36/1020); CTE decreases at cryogenic temps |
| carbon_steel | -100 | 9.8 | steel | 10.4 | Low-alloy carbon steel (A36/1020) |
| carbon_steel | 0 | 11 | steel | 11.4 | Low-alloy carbon steel (A36/1020) |
