thermal expansion diameters
thermal expansion diameters
(OP)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I need to calculate thermal expansion
of a shaft and a bushing with two different
materials.

RE: thermal expansion diameters
This will give you equations and some basic coefficients needed for different materials.
RE: thermal expansion diameters
So this is how I understand it....
shaft od = 1.375 made of gray iron
coef of thermal expansion 5.8
heat 600c or 1112F
od x coef x 10-6 x 1112
so
1.375 x 5.8 x.000001 x 1112 = .0088
so the shaft expands .0088
Is this correct?
Does work the same for an inner diameter?
