this technology will make a part cheaper to produce. The real question is
whether you can refine the entire manufacturing process to take advantage of
achieved . For e.g. Hydro forming often reduces number of pieces or the
amount of floor space used or eliminates the need for welding stations.

Since the entire process of operation takes place inside a closed die,
one cannot see what actually happens during forming. Therefore the

process steps, joining operation are being integrated into hydro forming
process. This also reduces tool cost. Two approaches to hydro joining are
punch acts on other sheets from opposite sheet . Punch is moved against rivet
and under the fluid counter pressure it spreads to form a solid , visually
attractive joint .
