Advances and Progresses in Sheet and Tube Hydroforming Processes

  • Conference paper
Advances in Material Forming

Abstract

The Sheet Hydroforming (SHF) and Tube Hydroforming (THF) are more and more commonly used in industry to produce complex sheet or tubular metallic components with High Limit Drawing ratio or large diameter expansions. The large variety of metallic materials that can be used and the complexity of the shapes that can be produced, avoiding the use of complex process sequences render the hydroforming processes well suited for numerous application fields, where the complexity of the parts requires the combination of processes to get lightweight components. The paper presents a synthesis and last developments in terms of hydroforming technologies, materials and limits of formability, as well as modeling strategies accounting the pressure and fluid flow effects. One also focuses on the identification, optimization and then control strategies that are now used in process design development to render as efficient as possible the whole hydroforming process chain. The developments are related to the contribution of Esaform research community and more generally international scientific community during the last ten years.
