Hydroforming
Hydroforming is a cost effective way of shaping malleable metals such as aluminium or steal into lightweight structural components with high strength and stiffness. One of the largest applications of hydroforming is within the automotive industry, which makes use of the process for frame and body parts. This technique is particularly cost effective when a single hydrofrom press can replace a multi-part stamping assembly.
The process of hydrofroming utilizes water pressure to reshape a tube into a complex form. The tube is loaded into a closed cavity die and the internal hydraulic press causes the tube to conform to the shape of the die.
