Lightweighting Made Easy with Hot Metal Gas Forming

The world of sheet metal forming is evolving and hot stamping is at the forefront of this revolution. Hot stamping processes of sheet metal produce lightweight and high-strength parts. By extending this technology to tubular parts, engineers reach ever higher strengths with an additional reduction in the number of parts and car weight. In this webinar, you will receive an introduction to Hot Metal Gas Forming (HMGF) technology. Additionally, through a practical example, you will witness the power of digital engineering tools for optimizing the HMGF process.

Participants will acquire valuable insights into the following aspects:

• The Fundamentals of HMGF: We'll break down the HMGF process step-by-step, from heating the metal tube to pressurizing it with gas and achieving complex shapes.
• Unlocking the Benefits and the Significance of HMGF for the Automotive Industry: Learn how HMGF is transforming the automotive industry by enabling the creation of lighter, stronger and more efficient vehicles.
• The Power of Simulation: Witness the importance of digital engineering tools in optimizing the HMGF process for a real-time automotive component.
