What is the History of the Welding Process? What are Welding Methods? What are the Types of Welding and Advantage of Welding? What Is Welding By heating two or more surfaces to a melting point, welding joins two or more pieces of metal or thermoplastic. Typically, this process involves applying heat and pressure to the surfaces being joined, causing the materials to melt and fuse. History of the Welding History of Welding Method/Process · Earliest stage of welding is known as forge welding · 16th century - Soldering process used for brazing silver and copper · 18th century - Gas welding and Arc welding · 19th century - Fusion welding, Metal electrode welding and Carbon arc welding. · 20th century - Electric arc welding Several new...
What is Hydroforming ?
Hydroforming
is a metal fabricating and forming process which allows the shaping
of metals such as steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and
brass. This process is a cost-effective and specialized type of die
molding that utilizes highly pressurized fluid to form metal.
Generally
there are two classifications used to describe hydroforming,
-
Sheet
hydroforming
-
Tube

Sheet Hydroforming

Sheet
hydroforming uses one die and a sheet of metal;
-
The
blank sheet is driven into the die by high pressure water on one
side of the sheet forming the desired shape.
Tube
Hydroforming
-
If
the shape contains bends that deviate from a straight line, the raw
tube is loaded into the tube bender. This bends the tube giving it
the necessary curvature in order to fit into the dies.
-
The
bent Tube is then typically placed in either our 200 or 500 ton
pre-form press. These presses will initiate the forming and shape
change of the part and assist in the hydroforming process.
-
The
part then goes to a hydroforming press. This press will pressurize
the water inside the tube and give the part its final shape and
look.
-
Newly
hydroformed parts go through a parts wash as required to ensure
precision laser cutting or stenciling.
-
Finally,
the part is taken to the laser center for specific cutting, etching,
or trimming purposes.
