Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005049245A1] A method and apparatus for hydroforming a metal part includes placing a part to be formed (510) within a die (512), closing the die to enclose the part to be formed, and introducing a high pressure fluid to an interior of the die for expanding the part against an interior surface of the die. The high pressure fluid has a pulse applied thereto for increasing a material flow of the part within the die.
