Speed of sound in steel at different temperatures?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The speed of sound in steel is influenced by temperature, and there are established formulas to calculate this relationship. A notable historical reference is the article "The Effect of Change of Temperature on the Velocity of Sound in Iron," published in Nature on April 22, 1886. Current research can be found through various online resources, including Google searches specifically targeting the speed of sound in steel versus temperature. These resources provide valuable insights into the acoustic properties of steel as they relate to thermal variations.
