The coefficient of thermal expansion for the metal will be much higher than that of the ceramic

The BGE uses metal bands the go completely around the egg to attach a hinge and the stand
If this is true, shouldn't thermal expansion be an issue with the bands?

I'm assuming since all the metal is outside of the ceramic, when it expands outward it will not put pressure on the ceramic. If the metal was inside the ceramic, it would crack the ceramic as it expanded at a faster rate. At least that's how I understand it.
