As current passes through steel, it heats up from resistive heating. As it heats up, it expands. A typical coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is 13x10-6 m/m K but the exact coefficient of thermal expansion of steel depends on the type of steel. For example:

Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion for:

(10-6 m/m K)(10-6 in/in oF)Steel13.07.3Steel Stainless Austenitic (304)17.39.6Steel Stainless Austenitic (310)14.48.0Steel Stainless Austenitic (316)16.08.9Steel Stainless Ferritic (410)9.95.5

Does steel expand or compress when heated?

Steel expands when heated because the heat causes the atoms within the steel to vibrate more, increasing the spacing between them. This expansion can be measured in terms of thermal expansion coefficients.

How much will one foot of steel expand when heated to 1000f?

Steel expands by approximately 0.0000065 per degree Fahrenheit, per inch per inch when heated. So for one foot of steel (12 inches), it would expand by about 0.093 inches when heated to 1000°F.

How do you expand a negative power For example 2 to the 2nd power is 2x2 how do you expand 2 to the power of -1?

for expanding negative powers of a number you take 1 divided by the number to the positive power and expand. For example 2 to the -1 power is 1 divided by 2 to the + 1 power = 1/2 2 to the -3 power is 1 divided by 2 tot he + 3 power = 1/8 this is called inverse
