 Definition
of Hydroforming:
A method of cold
forming metal (Tube) into complex shapes by application
of high fluid pressure is known as Hydroforming.
The process replaces the traditional manufacturing
process of stamping, welding, and trimming. The
process results in components that are lighter,
stronger and require fewer pieces.
Advantages
of Hydroforming
1. Reduction in weight
2. Reduction in cost of component
3. Minimal scrap generation
4. Improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
factors
5. High process capability
6. Simplified assembly
7. Fewer and simpler dies
8. Lower capital costs |
