Hydroforming Sheet Metal And Device

Virtually all metals capable of cold forming can be hydroformed.

Hydroforming sheet metal and device.

Manufacturing and assembly for the aerospace industry. Fluidforming s universal sheet metal and tube forming machine the formbalancer is a force contained structure that permits extremely high forming pressures of up to 400 mpa 60 000 psi. For more than 40 years hydroform usa has led the way in all sheet metal applications by employing lean practices to manage large build packages including stretch forming brake and roll forming hydro forming cnc machining and chem paint. Hydroforming is a cost effective and specialised type of die moulding metal fabrication and forming process which utilises highly pressurised hydraulic fluid to shape metals such as steel stainless steel carbon copper aluminium and brass into lightweight strong and structurally stiff pieces.

It is the preferred technique for shaping intricate components from ductile metals. Hydroforming is a metal forming technology based on the application of pressurized liquid media to generate defined workpiece shapes from tubular materials or sheet metals. The basic die includes an upper shoe 15 mountable to the outer slide 11 and hydraulic cylinder assemblies 17 18 mounted on the base and actuable by the inner slide for providing pressurised fluid to the tooling. The device has base and outer 11 and inner 12 slides and including a basic die 15 16 17 18 mountable to the press and tooling 25 51 mountable to the basic die.
