What is Hydroforming? Hydroforming is a metal forming process where complex and structurally sound parts with tight tolerances that can be made from various metals. A water-based fluid force, oil, gas, or a flexible elastic polymer membrane, is highly pressurized up to 10,000 PSi is applied onto a piece of metal, or blank, to change […]
