TLDR
In this article, the main press frame has a piston-cylinder closure system acting on a moulding tool with two or more die halves, in which high internal pressure will be applied to the tubular blank.
Abstract
In the hydroforming tubular blanks (W), which is economical in machinery and highly-productive, the main press frame has a piston-cylinder closure system (5) acting on a moulding tool with two or more die halves (2, 3), in which high internal pressure will be applied to the tubular blank. Outside the closure system, during die closure, the swaging profile (G) of the die halves preforms the blank. Simultaneously, internal pressure P1 is introduced into the blank. During the remainder of the hydroforming process, the workpiece remains in the mould. Also claimed is the apparatus used for the above process.

Method of manufacturing a hollow body from a tube by internal high-pressure forming

TL;DR: In this paper, a blank is pre-formed, and a bulge of varying depth is formed in it. During internal high pressure forming of this, the bulge is formed into a U-shaped fold (6).

Apparatus for injection-moulding or deformation of work pieces

TL;DR: An apparatus for injection molding or forming work pieces inside a molding tool is described in this article. But the tool pieces of the moulding tool are exclusively insertable in an assembled condition into an inner space (12) in the frame, where formstripping exclusively takes places outside the press means.
