On-line Calculation Tools
An understanding of key manufacturing parameters may be gained by making a number of assumptions which permit analytical solutions to be obtained. Some of these solutions are quite simple, some are involved. These calculation tools are intended for guidance only.
Tube Diameter
An important aspect of tube diameter selection is its suitability for both the hydroforming process and the tube making process. Validation is therefore carried out to check the tube diameter selection against both criteria.
Forming Pressure
A critical aspect of manufacturing feasibility estimation is the estimation of the forming pressure required to produce the component.
