| Mean Curve: |
| Linear expansion coefficient with reference to the 20 °C value. To be used for large temperature changes. |
| |
| Differential Curve: |
| Representing the coefficient of the tangent to the "dilatometer curve" at a certain temperature. To be used for small temperature changes. |
| |
| Alloying has no or only minor effect on the thermal expansion coefficient (temperature range 20 - 250 °C) |
