What are the thermal properties of steel?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This database is a small collection of thermal properties for materials used to construct common objects found in households and offices. Thermal properties which are relevant to fire behavior include the thermal conductivity (k), the mass density (ρ), the specific heat (Cp), and for materials that may undergo thermal degradation (i.e., pyrolysis) the heat of gasification (Lg) and the ignition temperature (Tig).
The database has been broken down into four categories according to material types: (1) Metals, (2) Plastics, (3) Woods and (4) Miscellaneous. For each entry, the thermal properties at room temperature and/or ignition temperature have been compiled from various sources. Some materials may have multiple entries due to variations in estimates of thermal properties from one source to another.
Variations across different sources illustrate the difficulty in determining accurate values for k, ρ, Cp, Lg and Tig. For complex materials, these properties are to be viewed as effective properties. In addition, these properties may change significantly with temperature.
Answer:
Steel has a number of properties, including: hardness, toughness, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, fatigue strength, corrosion, plasticity, malleability and creep.
