Internal Flow-Turning - An Innovative Technology for the Manufacture of Tailored Tubes

Abstract:

In order to optimise the material utilisation and improve the lightweight design of automotive parts tailored hollow profiles are needed, especially as semi-finished parts for hydroforming. Internal Flow-Turning is an innovative incremental forming technology which enables the manufacture of tubes featuring a varying wall thickness and a constant outer diameter. These characteristics facilitate the material feed at hydroforming processes significantly. In addition, the spinning-related forming technology improves the mechanical material properties, shape and dimensional accuracy, and the surface quality of parts produced.
