A device and process for hydrostatic forming is disclosed. The device for hydrostatically forming an article comprises an expandable bladder for shaping the article; a fluid for expanding the bladder; and a device for moving the fluid into the bladder for expanding the same. The fluid is heated prior to being moved into the bladder for raising the temperature of the article and lowering the yield strength of the article, thereby increasing the formability of the article. |
