Thermal Expansion Coefficients: silicon_carbide
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| silicon_carbide | 20 | 4 | ceramic | 4 | Silicon carbide (SiC) sintered; covalently bonded — very stiff and low CTE |
| silicon_carbide | 100 | 4.2 | ceramic | 4.1 | SiC sintered |
| silicon_carbide | 300 | 4.5 | ceramic | 4.25 | SiC sintered |
