An increase in the dimensions of a material caused by heating.
The material returns to its initial dimensions when it cools to its original temperature.
A bar of low alloy steel will increase by about 1% in length and about 3%, in volume, when it is heated from room temperature to its hardening temperature of about 900ºC.
