Wrong. 

Think about it this way.  Start with a sheet of metal.  Cut a disk out 
of it.  The disk and the plate are the same material and the same 
coefficient of expansion.  If you heat both pieces, the disk obviously 
gets larger.....but it's still got to fit in the hole...so the hole must 
get bigger!
