(OP)
We are having major problems with warping of SS 304 5/8" plate when we weld. We previously bought sheets of annealed metal. Is there any benifit of switching to forged sheets to limit the warpage?

Normally you can't ever get rid of all the distortion but can help your self a little.
Here is a very inexpensive book that has some information on controlling distortion.

There are several others out there but are out of print and are very expensive if you can find them. A very good one is authored by Stewart.
