Abstract

This study is concerned with adopting the hydroforming method in the front axle of the commercial vehicle. Generally the front axle of the commercial vehicle is made bγ the several operations of press forging. This product supports the big weight of the vehicle and load. The weight of the press forging parts is also so more than it of the press parts of the passenger car. So, we have studied the hydroforming method to lessen the weight of the front axle of the commercial vehicle. To apply the hydroforming method in the commercial vehicle, we had to use the operation of reducing the diameter of the used tube prior to the hydorforming operation.
