Cryogenic CTE for Steels?
Cryogenic CTE for Steels?
(OP)
Where can I find plots of CTE vs temperature for different hardnesses of 301 and 321 Stainless Steels at cryogenic temperatures? I need plots for temperatures down to -420 degrees Celsius.

Marshall Space Flight Center, being the propulsion directorate, might have information that could help you. I know they have done extensive testing with LOX, but I'm not sure of information dealing with LH2, because of the explosive hazards associated. They have a website. The dealings I've had with the people in their metallics branch, they are very helpful.

There is a link to materials properties data (Themal Conductivity, Specific Heat & Linear Expansion) at cryogenic temperatures for commonly used materials. There is also a copy of a paper describing the database project and its use under publications.
