Thermal warping resulting from aluminum's thermal expansion coefficient (twice that of steel) is countermeasured with a longitudinal design bead that essentially absorbs the differences.

The Corvette goes aluminum: for the high-performance Corvette Z06 GM ... by Whitfield, Kermit / Automotive Design & Production

That's important," Wool explains, "because a high thermal expansion coefficient can damage printed circuits and lead to brittleness and durability issues.
