Hydroforming is a technology with high potential for the manufacturing of sheet lightweight parts. This book gives information about the special requirements and possibilities of the hydroforming of aluminium and magnesium sheet alloys at elevated temperatures. Starting from the relevant material properties, the analytical and numerical modelling of the process is discussed and the required system technology is explained. The presentation of experimental results and failure modes are of help for part or process designers for the evaluation and optimisation of problems in the field of sheet forming at elevated temperatures.
