What Does CTE Stand For?

CTE stands for Coefficient Of Thermal Expansion

CTE, or Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, quantifies the extent to which a material expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. It is commonly expressed as a fractional change in length per degree of temperature change. CTE is a crucial parameter in engineering and materials science, as it influences the design and performance of structures and components subjected to thermal variations, ensuring reliability and structural integrity.
