American Hydroformers is one of the leading manufacturers of hydroformed metal and custom-made parts. We are proud to have earned a reputation for producing some of the most complex hydroformed parts that are used in a variety of industries every day.
When the right situation presents itself, sheet metal hydroforming will be an efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process. However, the situation will depend on the project and the type of equipment that will be available. Some benefits of sheet metal hydroforming will include diminished costs and reduced setup time.
Hydroforming has been widely used in the United States for decades. Hydroforming has been used to produce a long list of parts and components in the automotive industry, along with other industries. The method is a quick and efficient method that can fit within any budy. This method uses structurally sound and strong components that leaves little to no waste behind.
Tube hydroforming plays a critical role in manufacturing. Before the presence of hydroforming, there was no way to create solid and durable tubes in complex shapes that could withstand the test of time. Hydroforming creates opportunities that will allow one to manufacture and design automotive parts that cannot be completed using other methods.
Finite Element Analysis Accelerates Change. If you read history books, you’ll discover that every single generation since the dawn of time seems to feel as if the changes in their lifetime are more earth-shattering and coming at a faster pace than what their ancestors experienced.
Honestly, living through our own current developments, we can identify with this feeling.
Particularly as it relates to Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
In today’s business world, characterized by various cost-cutting measures and rising competition, it can be extremely difficult to explain purchasing new manufacturing equipment. It can especially be hard to explain purchasing equipment for hydroforming purposes. Any cost that is associated with equipment used to produce hydroformed components can be restrictive, especially when there is a need to purchase extra tooling and supplies.
There are two common types of hydroforming, tube hydroforming, and sheet hydroforming. But first, what is ‘hydroforming?’ It’s the process by which metals like steel, copper, aluminum, and brass are manipulated into a specific form or shape. Hydroforming is an efficient way of die molding that uses high-pressure fluid to fabricate metal.
Will COVID-19 Affect the Friction Stir Welding Market? If you were to run an internet search on “long-term effects of COVID-19,” the results would include headlines of every variety, from long-term health effects for those who have suffered from the virus to predictions regarding global economic recovery.
One thing is clear: our world will be forever impacted by this pandemic.
When it comes to the industrial effects, the friction stir welding market is no exception.
The question is not if it will be affected but how.
Whenever there’s an opportunity to reduce the weight of a car or light-duty truck, it’s that reduced weight which moves us closer… “to [meeting] the 2025 CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards,” says Brain Fish, North American Automotive Marketing Manager at Dupont. An average goal set for passenger cars and light-duty trucks is 54.5 mpg by 2025. That makes lighter vehicles a top priority.
Many people may not realize this, but metal stamping is an essential piece to the manufacturing process that provides many benefits to companies of all sizes. In order to gain a better understanding of the benefits that stamping can provide, it is important to gain an understanding of why many businesses use the metal stamping process.
