Is there a formula for caclulating shrinkage in a part after heat treating. I am using 4140 steel and the part is socket shaped and measures approx. 2 1/4" across with walls of approx. 1/4" and approx. 3" overall in height? Your help is always appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Doug, I don't believe 4140 has a signicant change of size after heat treating operations
