A change in component design could help achieve objectives in lightweight construction. However, lightweight component design can incur serious distortion problems after the final heat treatment due to reduced stiffness or asymmetries in the mass distribution. The analysis of design modification through geometrical variations and their consequences on the distortion behavior through experiments can be costly and time consuming.
