***Additional Description***
Weld distortion or warping of metal caused by the heat of welding is very frustrating. Whether you are using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW or MIG), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW or Stick Welding), the extreme temperature differences throughout the metal can do some crazy things.
