A method of forming sheet meal in which the metal is placed on a flexible rubber diaphragm which is supported by oil under pressure. The meal is formed around a male punch as the diaphragm is raised. The result part is generally of uniform thickness and quite strong.
Innovative forming method, whereby a liquid placed under high pressure is used to press the workpiece into a specified shape inside a closed die. This makes it possible to produce extremely complex shapes from tubular blanks.
A manufacturing process that involves pumping fluid into a die, so that the pressure will expand and form a tubular blank, providing many structural advantages.
Hydroforming is a metal forming process in which the metal tube blank is formed into a desired shape with the use of internal water hydraulic pressure. Hydroforming is applicable in any industry where complex shapes must be formed with a high degree of precision.
a strip steel metalforming technique using fluid pressure and dies
Innovative forming process using a pressurized fluid in a closed die to produce complex shapes e.g. from tubular starting material.
Innovative forming method in which pressurized fluid is used to form metal in a closed die. It allows the production of extremely complex shapes from different starting materials, including tubes.
Innovative forming technology for making extremely complex shapes, e.g. from tubular starting material
A method of forming that involves using hydraulic pressure on sheet metal placed between a male die and a rubber piece.
Hydroforming (or hydramolding) is a cost-effective way of shaping malleable metals such as aluminum into lightweight, structurally stiff and strong pieces. One of the largest applications of hydroforming is the automotive industry, which makes use of the complex shapes possible by hydroforming to produce stronger, lighter, and more rigid unibody structures for vehicles. This technique is particularly popular with the high-end sports car industry and is also frequently employed in the shaping of aluminium tubes for bicycle frames.
