Although hydroforming has been used for a number of industrial purposes, the most common and widespread use has been in the automotive industry and even more specifically to passenger cars and trucks.  Automotive parts that have been hydroformed in the past include:

• Frame Rails
• Front & Rear Cross Members
• Engine Cradles
• Radiator Enclosures
• Instrument Panel Beams
• Roof Rails
• Front End Structures
• Exhaust Parts

Although a number of vehicles have some of these parts in their structure, no vehicle has them all and most only have 1-3 parts/vehicle).  There are many more that do not have any hydroformed content.  Excella can devise designs that may increase the part’s functionality, performance or reduce cost.  The conditions in which this can occur are very situation specific.  Please contact us to allow our experienced personnel to determine the possibilities for your application once the detailed requirements are established, so you can make an informed decision about hydroforming delivering sufficient value.
