The effect of fundamental technological parameters on the hydroforming of sheet metal pairs

Abstract

Hydroforming of sheet metal pairs is a new trend in forming hollow sophisticated parts via just one process with a higher output (doubled  for unweld pairs), multi-directional parts, and/or parts from hard-toprocess metals. The above-mentioned technology is supposed to dominate automobile, aerospace, and even consuming goods industries in developed countries. Initial achievements by Industrial Machineries and Instruments Holding on this field of study are discussed in this paper.
