TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between high and low pressure tube hydroforming for the square cross-section geometry was performed. And the authors found that the internal pressure and die closing force required for low-pressure tube Hydroforming process is much less than that of high pressure tube Hydraforming process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of tube and sheet hydroforming technologies is presented with recent research and development activities and theoretical background associated with the plasticity and constitutive laws and their implementation to the computational modeling of the hydroforming process are discussed.
Abstract: This article is the review of hydroforming technologies that have been used increasingly in various industries including automotive applications. General concepts and technological developments in tube hydroforming and sheet hydroforming are presented with recent research and development activities. Then, the theoretical background associated with the plasticity and constitutive laws and their implementation to the computational modeling of the hydroforming process are discussed.
