About Hydroforming

Corus Hyfo™ combines the strengths of an international materials supplier with the innovative ideas from people who understand hydroforming. Corus Hyfo™ can provide the project management skills, engineering expertise and tube supply to take your hydroform product to market faster and at lower risk.

Benefits of hydroforming

Compared with more traditional forming benefits hydroforming offers a number of benefits when a closed structure is required.

Designing for hydroforming

It is important that the designer has a good understanding of the hydroforming process and accounts for the specific requirements to achieve an optimised design.

Leading applications of hydroforming

Hydroforming may provide the solution to many different design and performance challanges. By carefully choosing the application and designing for the manufacturing process, significant benefits may be achieved in low, medium and high volume production.

Process

Hydroforming is only one step of a manufacturing process. When designing hydroforms it is important to understand which processes are required and what limitations these may place on subsequent processes.

Simulation

Hyfo makes use of a number of tools for analysis of hydroformed designs. Its over-riding aim is to identify potential problems as early as possible, reducing both risk to programmes and the engineering resource required.
