Shrink-fitting is a procedure which is used to fit together two parts, at least one of which is metal, with an interference fit.
The fitting can be carried out by expanding the outer metal part and allowing it to shrink onto the other part as it cools. Alternatively, an inner metal part can be shrunk by sub-zero treating and then allowed to expand into the other part as it heats up to room temperature.
