Hydroforming Sheet Metal

A steel punch then rises through the ring forcing the sheet metal up into a rubber diaphragm backed by a pressure dome filled with hydraulic fluid.

Hydroforming sheet metal.

Hydroforming sheet metal is a process developed to manufacture short to medium run quantities of deep drawn parts and compliments other techniques of metal forming for example metal spinning stamping and fabrications. Because hydroforming sheet metal employs high pressure hydraulic fluid to form parts to a cavity instead of a punch pieces emerge with a near perfect quality finish free of burrs or scuffs. Hydroforming is a quick efficient and reasonably priced metal forming technique that produces structurally strong components with minimum material wastage. These qualities not only differentiate it from other metal forming techniques but also make it a smarter alternative to the conventional methods such as stamping and stamping and welding.

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. In hydroforming a metal blank is first placed on a ring. Hydroforming another area of specialty at hi craft metal products is another form of deep drawing used to form more complex shapes. Leading integration of manufacturing and assembly for the aerospace industry.

This virtually eliminates the need for downstream finishing or polishing. This technique is particularly popular with the high end sports car industry and is also frequen.
