Default Shrinking Disc

Ted,

I've never measured the temp the shrinking disc brings the metal up to, but I believe it to be far less than 1200 degrees. So - is it correct to say that metal heated in the range from 300 to 1200 degrees, will shrink if quenched in proportion to the amount of heat input? So if it's 500 degrees, it will shrink a little, and at 1000 degrees it will shrink more?
