Hydroforming - Tolerances and Surface Finish

Tolerances and Surface Finish

Hydroforming is capable of producing parts within tight tolerances including aircraft tolerances where a common tolerance for sheet metal parts is within 0.76 mm (thirty thousandths of an inch). Then metal hydroforming also allows for a smoother finish as draw marks produced by the traditional method of pressing a male and female die together are eliminated.

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or finish:

    “Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it’s a miracle.”
    —Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
