Hydroforming of metals: What it is

The hydroforming process consists in forming a component by means of the pressure exerted on it by a hydraulic fluid, such as water, against a mould. It can be applied to sheet metal or to hollow elements such as pipes or extruded profiles, whether in light alloy or steel. The material is inserted into a mould already shaped and is then deformed using high-pressure hydraulic liquid.

Hydroforming Simulation: How it works

Hydroforming simulation is the plastic mould deformation simulation that uses a high-pressure hydraulic fluid to form processing material at room temperature in a mould. Hydro forming makes it possible to make forms provided with concavity, which would be difficult or impossible without forming a standard mould, and is particularly used in the automotive industry.

DEFORM simulation software is also provided with an innovative function for the analysis and simulation of the entire hydroforming process, allowing for a complete virtual hydroforming process. The hydroforming simulation therefore optimises the length of the pipe, forming of the pipe terminals and simulation of the entire forming process.

DEFORM is the quickest and least expensive hydroforming simulation software at the “state-of-the-art”, which at the same time provides more information on the proposed process.

What customers say about DEFORM:

DEFORM hydroforming simulation software is American and has been optimised to be reliable, quick and easy.
  • EXCELLENT AGREEMENT OF “SOFTWARE RESULTS” WITH “REALITY” DEFORM is the most widely used cold forming simulation software in the world
  • SAMPLING IMMEDIATELY POSITIVEThe simulation makes it possible to identify defects obtained during forming, to understand their causes and therefore to undertake the right corrective actions
  • STARTING TIMES REDUCED TO A MINIMUM The press setting was already tested in simulation. The real sampling will dispose of the machine setup card already defined.
  • CERTAIN RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENTThe DEFORM deforming simulation makes it possible to assess different extruded item diameters and therefore to immediately identify the diameter for each code
  • REQUIRED PRESS DEFINITION DEFORM indicates the required tonnage for each workstation and therefore indicates which machine is necessary for the process. Planning of samplings and production
  • LONGER MOULD DURATION Tool wear known and reduced thanks to modified mould mechanics. Mould damage phenomena eliminated because expected and therefore taken care of in simulation

For the purchase, hire or a DEMO of the software or if you want to take advantage of a simulation service specially-made by our technical department, write or call us at +39 030 3365383
