TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art and key technologies concerned with equipment, process control, simulation, etc. are explored in detail, and conclusions are drawn concerning possible future developments in hydroforming technology.

TL;DR: A brief review of recent developments in the hydroforming processes is presented in this article, where the process variations used for forming tubular and flat components, the integral hydrobulge forming of shell products and the newly developed viscous pressure forming process are outlined and their characteristics and applications are summarized, especially in respect of applications of the processes in the automotive industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element model suited to the nature of the tube spinning has been built and the deformation field of the process has been simulated by the 3D rigid-plastic FEM (finite element method) in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the warm deep drawing process by superimposing a thermal gradient between the blank center in contact with the punch and the blank flange (which is going to be drawn).

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydromechanical deep drawing process of aluminum cups and mild steel cups is analyzed experimentally and numerically, and the effects of the process parameters on the final product quality are discussed.
