Welcome to the forum David. Distortion is caused by uneven heating and cooling in sheet metal. Having an even heat effected zone keeps distortion to a minimum.
The other way of controlling distortion in sheet metal is by peenining the weld this is known as hammer welding in the sheet metal trade in the USA.
