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.
