    ...dumping it in water when it's hot will make it brittle. If your taking a welding test & you dump the test plate in water the test coupons will break in half when you bend them in the bender.....
    If your having bad warpage you must be using an Arc welder? But then someone mentioned that you have a Mig? If you have a Mig, you tack it really well & then don't weld up one side all at once you shouldn't have any warpage as Mig's don't pull that much.... Bill
