Default Piston Growth???

A friend was saying aluminum piston do grow when heated. Actually he meant cycled, heated then cooled. If piston temperature was high enough it would grow a little.
He said manufacutres do some sort of heat treatment to stop it?
Anyone of you guys with metalurgy knowledge could comment?
