Sand blasting doesn't cause heat, that is a very commonly thought myth. It does just the opposite if you feel the metal it's cooler, it has been blown with air remember. What causes the warpage is the pieces of sand are like little hammers that are thinning out the top layer of the metal. The top thus gets larger, and that is what warps the metal.
