Hydroforming for Advanced Manufacturing

Introduction and state-of-the-art of hydroforming. Part 1 Principles of hydroforming: Hydroforming systems, equipment, controls and tooling Deformation mechanism and fundamentals of hydroforming Materials and their characterization for hydroforming Formability analysis for tubular hydroformed parts Design and modeling of parts, process and tooling in tube hydroforming Tribological aspects in hydroforming. Part 2 Hydroforming techniques and their applications: Pre-forming: Tube rotary draw bending and pre-flattening/crushing in hydroforming Hydroforming: hydropiercing, end-cutting, and welding Hydroforming sheet metal forming components Bending and hydroforming of aluminum and magnesium alloy tubes Low pressure tube hydroforming Comparative analysis of hydroforming techniques Fluid cell pressing in the aerospace industry Hydroforming and its role in lightweighting automobiles Warm hydroforming.
