Why Do Some Alloys Not Expand When Heated?
Certain metal alloys – known as Invar alloys – don’t expand when they get hot. In a new study, researchers have discovered that at high temperatures, the intrinsic magnetic properties of the alloys cause just enough contraction to cancel out thermal expansion.
