Materials
By means of hydroforming all metallic materials that are suitable for cold forming can be processed.
One and the same tool might be used to try out different kinds of material.
Formable with hydroforming
Examples for material grades
| Material | Type |
|---|---|
| Steel | Quality steel (e.g. S235JR, S355JR, S420/460MC) High-tensile steel (e.g. DP600..1000, 25CrMo4) Heat-treatable steel (e.g. LH800, 22MnB5) |
| Stainless steel | Austenitic (e.g. 1.4301, 1.4828, 1.4404, 1.4571, 1.4835) Ferritic (e.g. 1.4509, 1.4510, 1.4513) |
| Aluminum | e.g. AW 5005, 6060 and high-strength grades |
| Special material | Copper, Titanium, Inconel |
