What is Hydroforming?

Hydroforming is an advanced metal forming process that uses high-pressure hydraulic fluid to shape metal tubes or sheets into complex geometries. Unlike traditional stamping, hydroforming allows the material to flow naturally, creating stronger parts with fewer welds and superior surface quality.

Tube Hydroforming

Forming hollow tubular structures into complex shapes by applying internal hydraulic pressure. Ideal for frames, exhausts, and structural components.

  • Variable cross-sections along length
  • Reduced weight vs. traditional methods
  • Fewer welds and assembly steps

Sheet Hydroforming

Forming flat sheet metal into complex 3D shapes using hydraulic pressure against a die. Perfect for large panels and contoured surfaces.

  • Uniform thickness distribution
  • Excellent surface finish quality
  • Complex contours without wrinkles

Hydroforming Advantages

Weight Reduction

Achieve 20-30% weight savings compared to traditional fabrication by eliminating reinforcement welds and extra material.

Higher Strength

Uniform material distribution and work hardening create stronger parts with better structural integrity.

Design Freedom

Create complex shapes impossible with conventional stamping, including variable diameters and organic curves.

Cost Efficiency

Reduce tooling costs, eliminate secondary operations, and minimize material waste for better economics.

Surface Quality

Smooth, consistent surfaces with minimal scratches or tooling marks, reducing finishing requirements.

Fewer Joints

Consolidate multiple pieces into single components, reducing assembly time and potential failure points.

Hydroforming FAQ

What materials can be hydroformed?

We hydroform aluminum alloys, stainless steel, copper, brass, Inconel, and various steel grades including CRS 1008, 1010, and 1018. Material selection depends on application requirements, forming complexity, and desired properties. We work with materials ranging from 0.025″ to 0.250″+ thickness.

How does hydroforming compare to stamping?

Hydroforming offers superior design flexibility, reduced weight through part consolidation, fewer welds, higher strength through work hardening, and better surface quality. While tooling costs may be higher initially, hydroforming reduces secondary operations and material waste, making it cost-effective for complex geometries.

What is your hydroforming capacity?

Our equipment handles parts up to 10 feet in length and 20 feet in width. We maintain precision tolerances of ±0.02mm for dimensions and 0.05mm for flatness. We support batch production exceeding 1 million pieces while maintaining strict quality control and competitive delivery schedules.

What industries use hydroforming?

Hydroforming serves automotive (chassis, exhaust systems), aerospace (fuselage components, structural parts), medical devices, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and precision instruments. Any application requiring complex hollow shapes, weight reduction, or superior structural integrity benefits from hydroforming.

Can you provide surface finishing?

Yes, we offer complete finishing services including polishing, powder coating, plating, anodizing, and painting. We excel at controlling surface appearance, maintaining color consistency, and ensuring spray coating adhesion for high-quality final products ready for assembly or use.
