Abstract
An exact relation is developed between the thermal expansion coefficient and the bulk modulus of statistically isotropic polycrystalline aggregates composed of crystals of hexagonal, tetragonal or trigonal symmetry. This relation is exploited to derive simple close bounds for the thermal expansion coefficient in terms of single crystal properties. Comparison of bounds to experimentally obtained expansion coefficients shows fair to very good agreement.
