warpage
Twist from heat
Warpage is the condition of being warped—bent, twisted, or distorted from an original flat or true shape.
The term appears most often in manufacturing and materials contexts, where warpage in wood, plastic, or metal can render a product defective.
The warpage in these boards makes them unusable for flooring.
Heat, moisture, and improper storage are common causes of warpage in materials that were once straight or flat.
