Shrink-fitting

Shrink-fitting is a manufacturing process used to fit one component into another by utilizing thermal expansion and contraction properties of materials. The basic principle involves heating one component (usually the inner component) and cooling the other (typically the outer component) so that they can be fitted together easily. Here's how it typically works: 1. **Heating the Inner Component**: The inner component is heated so that it expands. This can be done using methods such as placing it in an oven or using induction heating.
