Vorrichtung zum Hochdruckformen und Hochdruckschneiden

摘要

A tubular member is manufactured in a hydroforming and hydroshearing apparatus. A substantially right circular cylindrical workpiece is placed in a die and pressurized to hydroform a substantially rectangular tubular product. The workpiece is presheared during the pressurization period and is fully sheared during the withdrawal of a plurality of plunger members while the internal pressure is maintained. The plunger members are positioned in the die by respective power cylinders which control the withdrawal thereof.
