The aim of this study is to develop an analytical solution to the deformation profile of hydroforming pre-bend process, which will be in turn fed into finite element simulation code for subsequent ...

For auto-body structures, thin walled hydroformed and laser beam welded hollow steel sheet sections are recommended as a replacement for mainly spot-welded box-shape components. Such components have ...

Most rod builders sweat bullets when they have to bend thin-wall tubing because the stuff wants to kink when the radius is tight. Thanks to Fiddy Alvarez of Advance Tube Engineering, we've got it ...

Pipe and tube bending is known to be a less expensive method in the metal and plastic industry, compared to welding materials to join components together. It is the process of permanently shaping ...
