Distortion is a problem that exists in all industrial metal working processes that
employ heat none more evident than shipbuilding where complex assemblies are
joined together using various welding processes.
There are a number of factors to be considered in dealing with the cause of
distortion and its reduction
Care should be taken to weld those welds which produce the greatest amount of
shrinkage first.
Spread welding generated heat throughout the panel i.e. avoid the
concentration of heat in any one place.
Where possible minimize the number of welders working on a panel at any one
time.
