Thermophysical Properties of Solid Materials. Project Section 1A. Cooperative Thermal Expansion Measurements up to 1000C

摘要

The report deals with the results of the co-operative programme on thermal expansion behaviour of well defined samples of very pure metals, ceramics, graphites and some engineering materials in the range between ambient temperature and 1000C. Beyond 1000C the experimental technique becomes more difficult; nevertheless the co-operative programme continues and further results are expected in the near future. The work already done has proved very satisfactory and has shown the way by which reliable data on engineering materials for the use of designers can be obtained. These co-operative efforts have also shown that some of the materials investigated are suitable standards for more general use. (Author)
