Thermal expansion of titanium

Abstract

This paper gives data on the linear th ermal expansion of titanium (97.2 percent) at various temperatures between-190° and + 700° C. The coefficient of expansion of titanium increases from about 5 X 10-6 /° Cat-150° C to about 12 X 10-6/ 0 C at 650 0 C. The data on thermal expansion do not indicate the existence of polymorphic transformations of t itan ium between-190 0 and + 700 0 C.
