    Welding can cause distortion and warping of parts due to uneven heating and cooling during the process. Differential thermal expansion and contraction in different areas of the welded material leads to residual stresses. Proper weld design and securely mounting parts before welding can reduce or eliminate distortion by minimizing residual stresses caused by welding.
