Overview of tube hydroforming
Tube hydroforming is one of two groups within the broader category of hydroforming itself, along with sheet hydroforming. It is a relatively new manufacturing process, but it has led to very impressive results. The process involves expanding metal tubes into a different form through the use of a pair of die halves. The die halves support the raw tube. The cross-sectional tube structure is altered as a result of the internal pressure involved.

The process is relatively simple compared to many other manufacturing processes. Relatively few operations are required to produce parts that are comparable in quality and structure to components produced through classic welding and stamping. Tube hydroforming applications are very broad, and they're increasing all the time as a result of new developments.
