FOCUS ON HYDROFORMING<br />
Hydroformed parts<br />
the part into the desired shape but does not<br />
alter its strength.<br />
The parts can have a variety of cross<br />
sections, and can have straight, tapered or<br />
even curved walls, but the most common<br />
shapes are cylinders and rectangles. The<br />
deep draw process is most commonly used<br />
with ductile metals such as aluminium,<br />
copper and mild steel. Some examples of<br />
deep draw parts are automotive bodies/<br />
Sheet metal<br />
hydroforming is a<br />
metal forming<br />
process which<br />
uses high-pressure<br />
hydraulic fluid in a<br />
flexible bladder, or<br />
diaphragm, to shape<br />
sheet metal against<br />
a single tool<br />
