432 Hydr<strong>of</strong>orming<br />

– The single-part construction eliminates the need for welding seams.<br />

– The calibration process ensures a high degree <strong>of</strong> accuracy in the contours<br />

and dimensions <strong>of</strong> hydr<strong>of</strong>ormed components.<br />

– Strain hardening generally lends hydr<strong>of</strong>ormed components a high<br />

degree <strong>of</strong> torsional rigidity. Their elastic recovery properties are less<br />

pronounced than is the case with welded sheet metal shells. For this<br />

reason, it is <strong>of</strong>ten possible for the wall thickness <strong>of</strong> hydr<strong>of</strong>ormed<br />

components to be relatively low compared to cast parts or shell constructions.<br />

This effect can be used either to reduce weight or to<br />

enhance strength or rigidity.<br />

– Using the same die, it is possible to use and test tubes which, within<br />

certain limits, have different wall thicknesses and starting diameters<br />

and are made <strong>of</strong> different materials (provided the ultimate deformation<br />

is not exceeded). This allows the weight and strength properties<br />

<strong>of</strong> the part to be optimized.<br />

– Experience has shown that lower flow resistance and larger fatigue<br />

strength are achieved in exhaust systems.<br />

By selective component and process configuration, it is possible to save<br />

both energy and material and to reduce development and production<br />

times. Thus, generally it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs.<br />
