Hydrovormen


Hydroforms is a design technique, with a fluid functioning as (om) form medium.

Principle of operation Hydrovorm principe.

In a sealed basin (see figure) a pressure of 3,000 bar and above is applied to a plate or to a tube using a liquid. The material is stretched or stretched (compressed) to the desired shape. Application

Most often, the hydroforming process is applied to tubular structures. Because the material has an even wall thickness due to the hydroforming, it can be constructed relatively light and inexpensive. Often the hydroforming is used in construction parts, used in cars and axles, among other things.

In the case of hydroforming, unlike the pressing, only half of the tool is necessary. As a result, the tool costs are lower than in the press Applied materials

The following metals are used: (stainless) steel, aluminum and brass. History

The hydroforming process is based on Milton Garvin's patented patent application from 1945, or the Cincinnati, OH (USA). Externe link Also see
