Abstract

Increasing use of hydroforming in automotive applications needs intensive analysis development on all aspects of this comparatively new technology to satisfy an ever-increasing demand by the trade. This paper summarizes a technological review of hydroforming method from its early years to terribly recent dates on numerous topics like material, tribology, equipment, tooling, etc., so that other research worker at completely different components of the globe will use it for additional investigations during this space.
