RE: Something about hydroforming
Hydroforming uses fluid under pressure to force tube into an array of different shapes. A tube is blocked off at both ends and fluid forced inside. By increasing fluid pressure and compressing the tube ends the tube takes the form of the enclosing die to become the desired shape.
It is a process looked on by the auto industry and steel industry as one offering a way of reducing the weight of the vehicle but still using steel as the major structural material.
Components that may be made using this process include exhaust parts, chassis rails, engine cradles, roof pillars and roll bars.
Try doing a web search with the names Schafer or Schuler.
