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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| carbon steel | 700 | 14.8 | steel | 14 |
