Sheet Metal Hydroforming Technology - State-of-the-Art

Abstract:

The present paper describes the current status of hydroforming technology in today’s global market that focuses on energy use in respect to increasing requirements especially from the automotive industry with its renaissance after the economic crisis. A vast hydroforming classification and the restrictions and drawbacks for a wider market share are also presented.
