Abstract (EN): The hydroforming process represents an alternative production method when complex geometry components are required. Considering the cost per unit as a critical value, hydroforming shows up as a competitive production method. In this work a case study is presented where the initial part, two tubes with different thicknesses and a butt-weld, is hydroformed. Simulation analyses are presented based on the Finite Element Method. A particular focus will be carried out on the characterization of the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), namely geometry and mechanical properties.
