Abstract
Tube hydroforming (internal high-pressure forming, or IHPF) is a popular advanced hydroforming technology for manufacturing lightweight, thin-walled, and integral components. IHPF is applied to manufacture tubular components with irregular cross-sections, which has been developed since the 1990s and applied widely in the automobile industry all over the world. In this chapter, the principles, process advantages, and application fields of tube hydroforming are presented according to three types of component structures, including tubes with changeable diameters, curved axis parts, and three-way tubes. Fundamentals and key technologies are given for determination of the hydroforming process parameters, defects analysis, equipment selection, die structures, and forming of typical components.
