    635 degree.

    Explanation:

    L = L₁ + L₁ X α X ΔT

    L is length after expansion, L₁ is length before expansion,α is coefficient o linear expansion and ΔT is rise in temperature.

    For steel, α is 13 x 10⁻⁶ and for aluminium it is 24 x 10⁻⁶. Let common temperature required be T.

    Using the formula for steel

    L (steel) = 3 + 3 x 13 x 10⁻⁶ (T - 20)

    Using the formula for aluminium

    L (Aluminium) = 2.98 + 2.98 x 24 x 10⁻⁶ x (T-20)

    L (Steel) = L (Aluminium)

    3 + 3 x 13 x 10⁻⁶ (T - 20) = 2.98 + 2.98 x 24 x 10⁻⁶ x (T-20)

    T = 635 degree.
